About The Organizer
Cancer Grand Challenges is a global scientific initiative co-founded by major cancer research funders with the mission to catalyse bold, collaborative research aimed at solving some of the most complex challenges in cancer science. It brings together interdisciplinary teams of investigators, clinicians and innovators to pursue high-risk, high-impact projects that push the boundaries of conventional research approaches.
Through its conference series, including the Cancer and the Host Conference, Cancer Grand Challenges fosters deep scientific exchange, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and translational insights that can reshape how cancer is understood and treated. By prioritising host-centric perspectives on tumour biology and systemic disease mechanisms, the organisation drives forward thinking that bridges laboratory discoveries with clinical impact to improve patient outcomes on a global scale.
