Collaborate2Cure is a program providing a platform for scientists, entrepreneurs, students and anyone interested to collaborate around a specific scientific problem to identify innovative solutions to that problem. BioNexus KC identifies topics with significant interest to researchers that align well with regional expertise and then coordinates a series of presentations on that topic. Previous topics have included:
• cancer immunotherapy
• mitochondrial dysfunction
• value-based healthcare
• autism spectrum disorder (The term “cure” here is only as part of the name of this long-standing program and not specifically applied to the autism-focused events.)
Collaborate2Cure allows researchers to communicate their findings to a diverse, multidisciplinary audience that may generate new ideas and approaches to their work. Each series aims to reveal powerful discoveries leading to cures and increase research funding for the KC region.
