GlobalCures

GlobalCures is a not-for-profit medical research organization that intends to develop scientifically-based, peer-reviewed clinical data that will support the use of certain commonly available compounds and other therapies in the treatment of deadly diseases. It will lead a worldwide effort to research therapies that have substantial scientific merit but for a variety of reasons are not being developed by other organizations, including the for-profit pharmaceutical sector. The initial focus will be on cancer therapies.

The Opportunity

Billions of dollars are spent each year on laboratory research, where enormous progress has been made in recent years, especially with the mapping of the human genome. However, for the most part, only those discoveries with high potential commercial reward have led to drugs for human use.

GlobalCures believes that we now have a unique opportunity - indeed a responsibility - to research further and develop the remaining discoveries. We believe that we can achieve this goal via a non-profit drug development model, so that the criteria used in evaluating the potential of a therapy will not include financial success. We intend to be the leader in creating a new drug development model that will be funded by other not-for-profit organizations, individuals, corporations and the government.
