Description: |
The CRF supports a continuum of translational cancer research, from validation of novel drug targets and
development of new treatments to their clinical validation and application. The CRF program supports studies that translate basic science observations into clinical trials. Studies examining the mechanics of novel anti-cancer agents, validation of new targets, and efficacy of innovative drugs or novel uses of existing drugs are types of research supported through this initiative. Through the program, OICR aims to support the advancement of novel anti-cancer therapeutics and new predictive assays from the laboratory into the clinic and to test their
promise in early clinical studies. |
