“We are passionate about our mission to fund cancer research in new drug investigations, novel combination therapies, and complementary and alternative therapies that has the potential to help cancer patients feel better, live longer or be cured today,” said Mumenthaler. “We work in close partnership with other leaders in the cancer research field to bring about research that aims to positively impact cancer patients when they need it most.”
For Gateway, it’s always been about the patient and making real progress toward the discovery of less toxic treatments. While the traditional approach to cancer research has yielded notable successes over the years, Mumenthaler points out that Gateway is committed to seeing even greater advancements for today’s cancer patients.
“Our vision goes beyond the conventional research approach as we encourage researchers to think outside the box, while always taking into consideration the interests and well-being of the patient,” added Mumenthaler.
