What is Collaborate2Cure?

Collaborate2Cure is a program providing a platform for scientists, entrepreneurs, students and the community to collaborate  and identify solutions to a specific scientific 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. 

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.

Previous topics include cancer immunotherapy, mitochondrial dysfunction, value-based health care, autism spectrum disorder.
