Behind the scenes researchers—who are well acquainted with the human cost of cancer and see the vast scientific and clinical opportunities for conquering it—are working to unlock the secrets of cancer in its many forms. Some are well established in their careers and have been conducting studies for years, while others are just starting out, full of passion and commitment to start their first project. When you are a young researcher, however, competing for grants to fund a potentially groundbreaking study can be incredibly challenging. This is where the Conquer Cancer Foundation comes in.
