Challenge 2: Eradicate EBV Cancers
Eradicate EBV cancers
We launched Grand Challenge in 2015 calling on the greatest scientific minds from around the world to take on the toughest challenges in cancer research. Every two years we launch a new set of challenges which, if solved, would transform the cancer landscape.
Each year 200,000 cancers worldwide are caused by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). We want to find a way to reduce that figure to zero.
In 2015, one of our Grand Challenges was:
ERADICATE EBV-INDUCED CANCERS FROM THE WORLD
This challenge is now closed for applications.
