Cancer Innova Program

CANCER INNOVA is the first initiative framed in the new Business Factory Medicines de Galicia. The Kærtor Foundation and the Scientific Foundation of the Spanish Association Against Cancer, in collaboration with the Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN), and the pharmaceutical companies Janssen, of the Johnson & Johnson group, and Lilly have created the CANCER INNOVA Program for the development of new drugs against cancer and for the consolidation of a biotechnological ecosystem close to patients. submit your proposal more info partners

Cancer Innova: Towards Innovation in Cancer

Collaboration to support innovation in cancer and accelerate the translation of research to patients.

The Cancer Innova Program (CIP) is an inclusive collaboration in which public and private entities jointly participate to promote innovation in cancer. To this end, a drug discovery program has been created aligned with the Cancer Mission of the Horizon Europe framework program, which represents a landmark in the biotechnology sector.

Accelerating drug discovery in cancer

This project is part of the Business Factory model of the Government of Galicia. Its seed was the I2D2 program, a collaboration between GAIN, Kaertor Foundation and Janssen/ J&J, which incubated early research projects in new drug discovery and validated a new incubation methodology based in five validated work packages. This resulted in an 80% reduction of time and costs, compared to the industry averages.

In the Cancer Innova program, application of the most disruptive research of the highest scientific quality on cancer will be carried out, with the aim of achieving proof of concept in humans through research planned by milestones.
