2023 Global Summit and Award Ceremonies for Cancer Research & Entrepreneurship

The 2023 Global Summit and Award Ceremonies for Cancer Research & Entrepreneurship presented by the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) will take place at the National Press Club on Saturday, October 21, 2023. NFCR’s Global Summit is an exceptional meeting of the minds in oncology who are leading the search for cures to ALL types of cancer. This event helps generate new ideas and new partnerships that we believe will one day result in a cure for all cancer.

Our full-day program features panel discussions about new approaches to cancer treatment, precision medicine, and the future of cancer biology. Our strategic partner, the AIM-HI Accelerator Fund, will host an Emerging Oncology Company Showcase led by local Entrepreneur Matt Trembley, Ph.D. of Blackbird Laboratories in Baltimore, MD.

This year, NFCR is also celebrating its 50 year anniversary. At the event, we will reflect on the breakthrough discoveries that have defined our impact so far and look ahead to the future of the cancer research community in our collective quest to make CURES possible.

Notable Speakers and honorees in attendance include:

• Nobel Laureate Prize Winner, James P. Allison, Ph.D.
