research grant

With the aim of encouraging new scientific discoveries to help find cancer causes and to reduce its incidence, as well as
the mechanisms that trigger metastatic breast cancer, the Association will fund a 25 thousand euros research grant. Applications are open from October 30, national day for breast cancer prevention, to  January 31st 2014.

The European Commission awards its 50th European Industrial Doctorate (EID) research grant. The €1.5 million grant is for research into new antibodies that will destroy a tumour's blood vessels and eradicate the tumour. The so-called VAMPIRE project ('Vascular Antibody-Mediated Pharmaceutically Induced tumour Resection') is led by the University of Birmingham in the UK and SomantiX, a Dutch biotech company based in Utrecht.
