What Are Some Successful Examples of Collaborative Cancer Research?
Several successful collaborative initiatives have made significant contributions to cancer research:
- The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA): A landmark project that has cataloged genetic mutations responsible for various cancers, providing a valuable resource for researchers worldwide. - Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C): This initiative brings together scientists from different institutions to work on high-risk, high-reward cancer research projects, accelerating the development of new treatments. - The Human Cancer Models Initiative (HCMI): A global collaboration aimed at creating a new generation of cancer models derived from patient tumors to better study cancer biology and develop targeted therapies.
