About us
The Cancer Focus Fund is an oncology-focused investment fund which invests in compelling cancer therapies at or near the FDA Phase 1 or Phase 2 human clinical trial regimen. The fund offers business, management, IP, clinical, scientific and regulatory support through experienced and proven professionals. At the Cancer Focus Fund, we invest in promising therapies in late preclinical development through Phase I and Phase Ib/II clinical trials. Our objective is to provide support to accelerate the development of these therapeutics together with the clinical trials expertise and infrastructure of MD Anderson. Through our unique approach, we believe the Cancer Focus Fund has the potential to bring more treatments to patients in need while also rewarding our investors.

Cancer Focus Fund reposted this
https://lnkd.in/e4UKnYHG So proud to be a part of the life science ecosystem in Texas. Wow...the acceleration over the last 3 years since we closed the Cancer Focus Fund has been amazing. I'm humbled to play our small part in designing clinical trials, enrolling clinical trials (at MD Anderson, Ochsner New Orleans and LSU Feist Weiller) and financing those trials that save peoples lives. MD Anderson and CTMC's Jason Bock played a critical and unbelievable role. Cutting edge technology from around the world--we are lucky we found technology driven by Sarah Hein and Baylor College of Medicine's Max Momonkin, and CTMC's again, the amazing Jason Bock. Thanks to @MDAnderson, @TMC Venture Fund, @portal and those who worked on the deal and our investment platform to get this done........
