IN CURES
Curebound is a 501c3 philanthropic organization that raises and invests strategic funding into lifesaving cancer research among southern California’s best research institutions. Founded with a deeply held belief that cures are possible, Curebound’s mission is to accelerate cures in our lifetime, so that the next generation does not hear the words “you have cancer” in the way we do today.
- $37 million awarded for cancer research since 2013
- 123 research grants and clinical trials funded to date
- 6 top institutions working together
- 1 vision: a world without cancer
Curebound targets areas of research where the greatest opportunities exist and invests strategic funding in translational research projects that demonstrate promise of getting to clinic and to market. We are committed to investing $100 million into innovative, collaborative cancer research and accelerating that research into cures for patients.
Curebound advances how we can better prevent, treat, and ultimately find cures for cancer. We are guided by three core principles:
CURES
Curebound is founded with the deep-seated belief that cures are possible; that cancer is curable. With the knowledge that each small finding leads to a larger discovery and then one day, a breakthrough. Curebound will accelerate the speed at which we transform research into cures.
COLLABORATION
At Curebound, collaboration is central to everything we do. Our funding model creates collaboration across multiple disciplines among the top research institution in San Diego. We provide early phase, follow-on and clinical trial funding to specialized research teams that bring together physician scientists, clinical researchers, and basic science researchers to work in partnership on specific challenges in cancer research.
COMMUNITY
In some way, this cause will touch all of our lives: every person, family and community. Curebound serves all of San Diego’s diverse communities, united with one vision: cures in our lifetime. Through the power of collaboration and the spirit of community, we will ensure that the next generation doesn’t hear the words “you have cancer” in the way we do today.
