LUDWIG CANCER RESEARCH

Ludwig Cancer Research is a global community of leading scientists pursuing innovative ways to prevent and control cancer. From basic research to clinical trials, in individual laboratories or as part of international teams, their researchers are tackling the hardest questions, spotting the connections and the possibilities. At Ludwig, they test their work against the one measure that matters - improving human health. Ludwig researchers are global leaders in their fields, seeking out and cul... tivating the most promising young scientists. Their resources enable them to maintain state-of-the-art laboratories at elite academic institutions around the world and their independence gives their scientists the freedom to follow their instincts and the evidence toward pioneering cancer breakthroughs. In individual laboratories or as international teams, their scientists are seeking to unravel the basic biological underpinnings of cancers and to use those findings to advance human health. Their global network enables us to bring together multidisciplinary teams to tackle the biggest issues in cancer research with resources beyond those available to any single laboratory. Ludwig scientists are driven to realize the life-changing potential of their work, so when promising avenues open they don’t wait and hope for others to act on their work. Ludwig has dedicated teams to manage every step required to translate their discoveries into interventions that will benefit patients—technology development, drug discovery, clinical trails design and management, and beyond. Ludwig is committed to making sure their work is pursued to its fullest potential, in-house or with academic and industry partners. They even help start private companies that will focus on a promising breakthrough with commercial potential. The Ludwig Institute typically holds a stake in the venture, providing scientific assistance and potentially generating financial returns to fund additional research.More
