Marty Tenenbaum to Speak at NYC Oncology Investor Conference

Cancer Commons founder Marty Tenenbaum, PhD, will speak at the NYC Oncology Investor Conference on October 30. Marty, who founded Cancer Commons after his own battle with melanoma, will discuss the potential for artificial intelligence to help find better cancer treatments.

Read the synopsis of Marty’s presentation, “Can AI Cure Cancer?”:
No one knows the optimal way to treat any cancer with currently available therapies. When clinical advances are made, it can take years for you and your doctor to find out about them. Getting access to breakthrough therapies, in a clinical trial or through expanded access, is problematic. Developing a new drug from scratch can take a decade or more and cost upwards of a billion dollars. AI can help. I will outline a plan, with the potential to save many thousands of lives, and a strategy for funding it through philanthropy and impact investing.

The NYC Oncology Investor Conference brings together “leading life science and oncology venture capitalists, family offices, lawyers, pharma executives, startup public and private cancer companies, and cancer foundations for a discussion of trends, opportunities, and risks in oncology investing, corporate presentations by a select group of public and private oncology companies, and updates on cutting edge science.”

Marty’s talk takes place on October 30 at 1:30pm Eastern time. Learn more about the NYC Oncology Investor Conference.
