Immuno-oncology research and innovation: open directory

This ‘Immuno-oncology research and innovation: open directory’ lists all the projects and opportunities we’ve received in response to our spring 2023 Global Challenge campaign seeking novel academic research and assets in immuno-oncology to treat solid tumour cancers. Each of these projects has been submitted by an academic or research commercialisation professional with the aim of initiating meaningful conversations and partnerships leading to the collaborative development of new interventions.

How to review the projects

A non-confidential summary of each project is hosted on IN-PART’s digital matchmaking platform, Connect, for university-industry collaboration. Set up an account (it’s completely free), log in, and follow the links below.

How to connect with the teams behind them

If you see a project that aligns with your R&D priorities, you can make a request for more information directly through the article on Connect. The academic team or project lead will then send you a response by email.

There are no costs or downstream fees for companies to use IN-PART’s matchmaking platform to connect with universities – it’s maintained by institutional subscriptions.
