Five new teams and a year of scientific creativity
A Milestone Moment
Introducing five new Cancer Grand Challenges teams and publication of Discover magazine
Five new teams
Today, 4 March 2026, we announced the five new teams selected to take on five of cancer’s toughest challenges. These teams have the opportunity to change the way we think about, study, prevent and treat cancer.
Read our perspective on the new teams and their potential impact in the scientific journal Cancer Discovery.
A growing coalition
Thank you to our coalition of visionary partners who make this investment of $125m possible, including the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK, Cancer Research Institute, Children Cancer Free Foundation (KiKa), KWF Dutch Cancer Society, Torrey Coast Foundation, and Yosemite (oncology-focused venture firm).
A year of scientific creativity
We also published our yearly progress magazine Discover, where you can learn more about the teams, their approaches and hear how Charles Swanton (Chair of our Scientific Committee) was inspired by their transformative potential. Discover also showcases the incredible progress of our funded teams over the last year, demonstrating the power of global team science.
