| Dear Voornaam
Are you a researcher with a cancer research related idea that might make a great business and enterprise, but not sure how to start?
The Bio-spark Entrepreneurial Programme in partnership with our innovation arm Cancer Research Horizons is seeking applications for its Company-seeding fellowship programme for PhDs, postdocs and early-stage scientists. It provides six months of mentorship and networking with potential investors for those with ideas for setting up companies. Fellows will own the rights to any ideas developed during the mentorship process.
In addition, Cancer Research Horizons will make a 50k translational research grant available to develop a novel oncology project.
