The BioCanRx network is changing the face of cancer treatment
BioCanRx’s vision is to cure patients and enhance the quality of life of those living with cancer. We will do this by supporting world-class research in the area of immune oncology, and by accelerating to the clinic the most promising cancer immunotherapies designed to save lives and enable a better quality of life. Through an innovative, collaborative funding process BioCanRx is becoming a world-leader in the translation, manufacture and adoption of leading edge cancer immunotherapy treatments for the benefit of cancer patients.
And … presto!
It’s a bit like a magic trick – put a tumour sample into a box, wave your magic wand above it and presto – out come the immune cells most likely to attack the tumour successfully.

Diving Deep into the Abdominal Cavity
Dr. Rebecca Auer holds a Catalyst Grant from BioCanRx to test the use of immunotherapy to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis. Her work on this project is intended to get the evidence needed to proceed to clinical trials and, she says, it’s looking promising.
