Science Takes Time. It Also Takes Funding
There are brilliant minds at work in Houston and around the globe, relentlessly pursuing cures to the over 200 different types of cancer. Each day, they make significant strides. Still there are hardships and disappointments and setbacks. There are also thickets of red tape standing in the way of the research. Researchers spend a disproportionate percentage of their time writing grant requests, with a low success rate. Our goal is to facilitate them spending more time on their research to cure cancer. Here are some examples of the type of groundbreaking research that is taking place right now.
