$23+ million raised and invested in collaborative cancer research
90 discovery research grants and clinical trials funded to date
6 top cancer research institutions working in collaborative partnership together
1 mission: mobilize San Diego to accelerate cures for cancer in our lifetime
Curebound targets areas of research where the greatest opportunities exist and invests strategic funding in translational research projects that demonstrate promise of getting to clinic and to market.
We are committed to investing $100 million into innovative, collaborative cancer research in San Diego and accelerating that research into cures for patients.
Curebound advances how we can better prevent, treat, and ultimately find cures for cancer. We are guided by three core pillars:
Curebound is founded with the deep-seated belief that cures are possible; that cancer is curable. With the knowledge that each small finding leads to a larger discovery and then one day, a breakthrough. Curebound will accelerate the speed at which we transform research into cures.
We fund collaborative research because we know the best ideas happen when the right people work together. We are intentional and cost-effective in focusing our efforts where we can have the most impact. The Curebound Scientific Advisory Board curates strategic investments in innovative areas of research like genomic medicine, immunotherapy, stem cell, clinical trials and prevention – seeking out the most promising opportunities to improve the lives of cancer patients today.
When it comes to curing cancer, we believe in the power of going all in - together. Curebound serves all of San Diego’s diverse communities, united with one goal: cures in our lifetime. We unleash the potential for discovery in San Diego, where the best and brightest minds converge, where nationally certified institutes are concentrated, and where the community is united against cancer.
“About 4:30 pm I get a call from my doctor, and she said, “I’m so sorry to say this, but your daughter has leukemia. You need to come to the hospital right now.” It took my breath away. I knew it would be something big, but not something as big as cancer.”
“She came with scientific data, research, evidence, information and outcomes. But she also came to the table with an extraordinary amount of empathy.”
“We are curing forms of cancer. What makes that possible is the research and funding that goes into developing new and innovative therapies."
