As an international research collaboration, the Biseach Initiative aims to improve cancer outcomes

Author: Harper Cancer Research Institute

A transatlantic effort is transforming cancer research and care. The University of Notre Dame's Harper Cancer Research Institute is conducting collaborative, cutting-edge research with the University of Galway's Cancer Centre. The initiative is aptly titled Biseach — an Irish word meaning “to heal, make better, or improve.”

In a new video, explore the outcomes and future of the Biseach Initiative. To learn more about how the Initiative unites researchers across an ocean, read a story about last summer's Biseach Symposium.
