About

 

NewCures is a biomedical accelerator that focuses on the development of potential therapeutics from Northwestern University laboratories. Its mission is to strengthen Northwestern’s therapeutic pipeline and to expedite the translational process of early-stage research discoveries into next generation therapeutics to ultimately benefit patients.

By aligning with industry standards, NewCures fills a translational gap in therapeutic development and aims to enhance and de-risk discoveries by:

  1. Identifying potential assets;
  2. Providing expertise and resources to formulate a strategic, project-specific development plan;
  3. Developing pertinent and robust preclinical data; and
  4. Translating research to industry-ready assets to attract external partnerships and investment from the private sector.

The programmatic structure of NewCures also serves to promote the exchange of knowledge related to pre-clinical therapeutic development at Northwestern.
