Workstreams

We have identified four critical problems that are clogging up the system. We are tackling each one with a team of experts who are dedicated to creating collective impact.

Creating a Self-Reinforcing Cycle of Progress

The Kraft Precision Medicine Accelerator focuses on four areas of opportunity. When the larger cancer ecosystem is working optimally in all four areas, and one opportunity is fueling the next, we’ll see rapid progress toward cures.

Direct to Patient Thumbnail

Direct to Patient →

Most patients don’t realize the power of their data. We need every patient to raise their hand and be counted. When scientists have the access to their data patients can help unlock promising therapies.
Data & Analytics Thumbnail

Data & Analytics →

Many data sets are siloed and spread amongst different institutions. We need data aggregated, standardized, and analyzed to inform clinical pathways and clinical trial design.
Clinical Trials Thumbnail

Clinical Trials →

Today, too many clinical trials run late or fail outright due to poor design or lack of enrollment. We need to design trials that increase efficiency and success.
Investment & Venture Thumbnail

Investment & Venture →

Current investment models often perpetuate a broken system. We need new approaches that align incentives and accelerate progress.

Taking Action Now

Our work is well underway, but it relies on experts like you taking an interest in our findings and getting involved. Our newsletter will keep you up-to-date.
