The National Cancer Institute Small Business Innovation Research (NCI SBIR) Development Center is coming to JLABS @ LabCentral! Program directors Jonathan Franca-Koh and Christie Canaria will be presenting funding opportunities and other resources for startups in cancer technology. You will also learn about 15 new targeted funding opportunities in cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment in high priority areas of research for the NCI. Although the trends reflect improvements in cancer treatments and advances in technology have led to better tools for understanding, detecting and diagnosing cancer, we still have work to do. In 2016, an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. The NCI is poised to reduce the burden of cancer in this country and around the world at an accelerated pace.
