RAKFOND AND SCISTORELAB SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO JOINTLY SUPPORT PROSPECTIVE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ONCOLOGY
The non-profit organization Foundation for Cancer Research Support (RakFond) and SciStoreLab, LLC announce the start of a long-term partnership in support of oncology research in Russia. Cooperation will be directed primarily towards holding joint competitions in order to provide financial and other support to scientists who have proposed the most promising scientific ideas for experimental work and research projects in the field of studying the biology and immunology of malignant tumors and the further development of new preventive and diagnostic tools and cancer treatment. The announcement of the first joint competition is scheduled for December 2018.
Kristina Zakurdaeva, MD, PhD, RakFond Founder and Chair of the Board of Directors:
“The support of science by commercial companies is an important part of their social responsibility, which allows them to develop and improve the research activities of scientists and physicians involved in the fight against cancer. By helping to study cancer today, we invest in the future of cancer patients and this entire field of medicine. We are pleased that we are starting our cooperation with companies participating in the industry and hope that the number of those who have joined our mission to promote cancer research in our country will increase”.
Natalya Vasyunina, CEO of SCIStoreLab, LLC:
“The goals and aspirations of the SCI-store’s team are to contribute to an increase in the number of Discoveries and Findings per unit time. Hypotheses are born at the speed of light but are tested over the years. We believe that testing scientific hypotheses should only be limited to the time required for conducting experiments and analyzing the results; therefore, we create and maintain infrastructure solutions that ensure the comfortable work of investigators. For us, non-commercial cooperation with RakFond is a new form of supporting scientific excitement and interest of researchers. This is another step toward understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer, their etiology, pathogenesis, and the development of new diagnostic and treatment methods”.
