President Joe Biden announced $150 million in new federal funding to develop advanced technologies for more effective tumor-removal surgeries, as part of his 'Cancer Moonshot' program aimed at halving the U.S. cancer death rate by 2047. The funding will be distributed among eight research institutions, including Tulane University, Dartmouth College, and Johns Hopkins University. Biden emphasized the importance of data sharing and collaboration in cancer research to make significant advancements. The Cancer Moonshot initiative, originally established by President Obama in 2016 and reignited by Biden, has so far invested over $400 million in cancer research. This initiative is particularly personal for Biden, whose son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. The goal is to reduce repeat surgeries and minimize damage to healthy tissues, thereby extending and saving lives.
