Aimed at any oncology project leader (researchers, clinicians, students, and entrepreneurs) at an early stage: before the creation of the start-up or for start-ups in the development phase.
is made up of a common core curriculum and additional training specific to biotech, medtech and e-health.

Selected projects:

This PSCC program is part of the OncoSTART collective's toolbox for entrepreneurship in the fight against cancer.
