Description

Join Canadian Club Toronto on April 10 for an insightful conversation on a groundbreaking collaboration that’s set to transform cancer research and treatment in Canada: The Cancer Breakthrough Fund.

While the traditional model of philanthropy in medical research has long been vital, it cannot fully address the complexities of drug development and commercialization. This innovative partnership between the Terry Fox Foundation and Lumira Ventures blends the commitment of philanthropy to support cutting-edge research with the private sector’s expertise in scaling impactful companies. Together, they will create a lasting impact in the fight against cancer. Moderated by Avis Favaro, Health Journalist, this panel will feature:

Michael Mazza – Executive Director, Terry Fox Foundation
Suman Rao – Principal, Lumira Ventures
Peter van der Velden – Managing General Partner, Lumira Ventures
