Cures Within Reach for Cancer is a nonprofit startup creating new and affordable cancer treatments using artificial intelligence (AI) to repurpose non-cancer generic drugs. We’re happy to spotlight their work, and to have them as a member of The Greater Sum’s 2020 Nonprofit Cohort.

Like many organizations, CWR4C has been influenced by COVID-19. Cancer patients are a particularly vulnerable population when it comes to COVID-19 infection. Many of the treatments being evaluated for COVID-19 are repurposed generic drugs, and some also have documented effects on cancer. CWR4C is deploying their evidence synthesis technology to understand how COVID-19 drugs affect cancer. Their findings will help cancer patients who also have COVID-19 make critical treatment decisions. Follow them at @CWR4C for updates!
