Researchers

We partner with researchers to develop their discoveries into therapeutics across a range of childhood cancers. Our goal is to progress these therapeutic assets into novel medicines for children and young people with cancer.

How we work with researchers

We provide a supportive pathway and resources to advance novel therapeutic assets. By joining us, you’ll gain access to state-of-the-art drug discovery facilities and expertise, and a collaborative network of passionate professionals.

What we're looking for

We are currently seeking proposals for novel therapeutic opportunities from organisations and researchers within the childhood cancer space across diverse modalities (small molecule, antibody-based, cell therapy and others). We are seeking proposals for therapeutic projects at the following or equivalent stages:

  • Hit identification

  • Hit validation

  • Hit-to-lead

  • Lead optimisation

We will support the enabling activities required at each stage. Watch our webinar for more details or contact us at EOI@c-further.org to book a 1:1 discussion.

How to work with us

We maintain a rolling call for collaborative projects, with review of expressions of interest happening every four months.

Expressions of interest for working with C-Further are invited for a first round of triage closing on November 1, 2024.

Information on subsequent deadlines for review will be published here.
