Breakthrough Science Initiative Awards Program 2024
Ono Pharma Foundation carries out the Ono Pharma Breakthrough Science Initiative Awards Program (“Ono Initiative”), a competitive awards program to support scientific research projects throughout the United States. Ono initiative is the embodiment of our commitment to accelerate open innovation by supporting high-risk and high-reward science research projects, which have potential to lead to science discoveries/solutions and, possible, based on further research, to breakthrough treatments for patients.
For 2024, subjects of interest include but are not limited to:
• Modulating interactome and cell/tissue crosstalk with chemical induced proximity
• Manipulating biomolecular condensates and protein quality control systems
• Deep understanding and emerging applications of chemical glycobiology
• New concepts of drug delivery and localization to tissue/cell/organelle
