Our Impact

BioCanRx accelerates the path from lab to clinic, building the infrastructure to deliver new cancer therapies to patients who can’t afford to wait.

BioCanRx is focused on supporting translational research that is bringing Canadian developed and manufactured therapeutics to cancer patients in Canada.

By funding research that is indication agnostic and focusing on the most challenging part of the research process – moving initial discovery to the clinic – our funding has the potential to have broad impact and change the landscape of cancer treatment in Canada.

Funding & Leverage

By providing funding and resources – biomanufacturing and commercialization support – BioCanRx is helping to derisk innovation for future investors including pharmaceuticals and the health care system. Our model attracts additional funders who recognize the strength of project selection process and the excellence of our research network. This will ensure the development and manufacture of cancer immunotherapy treatments happens here in Canada – critical to ensuring Canadian patients with cancer have access to new and effective treatments when they need them.

International Impact

Our network is building Canada’s reputation as a world leading centre for cancer immunotherapy research and development. In fact, researchers in Denmark are currently using both the CLIC 1901 lentiviral vector and have benefitted from receiving all related Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) from the Canadian CLIC program to launch their own made-in-Denmark program – based on the construct from Canada.

Commercialization

The BioCanRx translational ecosystem approach uses a staged pipeline that yields tangible results. Projects are able to advance along the development pipeline from pre-clinical development to clinical evaluation, and have access to commercialization expertise – all contributing to derisking the commercialization process for future investment. The result? Canadian innovations are able to stay here in Canada – benefiting our economy and patients.
