What are Some Successful Examples of Industry-Funded Cancer Research?
There have been several successful collaborations between industry and academia:
The development of the HER2-targeted therapy trastuzumab (Herceptin) for breast cancer, which was a product of collaboration between Genentech and academic researchers. Advancements in CAR-T cell therapies, which have been driven by partnerships between companies like Novartis and academic institutions. Innovative diagnostic tools such as liquid biopsies developed through collaborations between biotechnology firms and research laboratories.
