The Rare Cancer Research Foundation (RCRF) is dedicated to curing rare cancers through strategic investments and innovative collaborations that catalyze effective research and accelerate deployment of promising therapies. While rare cancers accounted for just over 25 percent of all new cancer diagnoses in 2013, they comprised more than 40 percent of all cancer deaths. RCRF`s goal is to develop research infrastructure for each rare cancer.

Brightseed

Brightseed enables a healthier future by illuminating and activating the connections between people and plants. Despite centuries of wisdom proving the critical roles plants play in supporting our health, the majority of active compounds in the plant kingdom remain unexplored. Our artificial intelligence, Forager®, reveals powerful compounds hidden in nature and our team scientifically validates their impact.

Elevation Oncology

Elevation Oncology is founded on the belief that every patient living with cancer deserves to know what is driving the growth of their disease and have access to therapeutics that can stop it. We aim to make genomic tests actionable by selectively developing drugs to inhibit the specific alterations that have been identified as drivers of tumor growth. Together with our peers, we work towards a future in which each tumor`s unique genomic test result can be matched with a purpose-built precision medicine to enable an individualized treatment plan for each patient. Our lead candidate, seribantumab, is intended to inhibit tumor growth driven by NRG1 fusions and is currently being evaluated in the Phase 2 CRESTONE study for patients with solid tumors of any origin that have an NRG1 gene fusion.

Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center

CBCC has treated over 75,000 patients since we first opened. We have continually expanded and have earned the recognition as the largest free standing, privately held cancer center in the nation. While our motivation has always been to offer the finest care available, our story starts in a small office in 1984. Dr. Ravi Patel opened a 1200 square foot cancer clinic as a way to bring his vision of providing cancer patients with specialized medical and emotional care to Bakersfield. In the years since, CBCC has changed in many ways, but the purpose has always remained the same—we believe you shouldn`t have to travel the state for state-of-the-art cancer care.
