Oncoheroes Biosciences, a CataloniaBio & HealthTech member, announces the investment of Kier’s Kidz, a childhood cancer non-profit from New Jersey.  This the first time Kier’s Kidz invested in a biotech company, that since 2012, has been helping children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer by funding cancer treatments and research. This investment adds to those received at Oncoheroes Biosciences from the non-profit organizations Catalytic Impact Foundation and the Gregory  Foundation for Cancer Research earlier  this year.

The news of the investment coincides with the start of the Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. “What a fantastic way to celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Coming together, we can finally change the landscape of pediatric oncology,”  stated Ricardo Garcia, co-founder, and CEO of Oncoheroes Biosciences.

Larry Perfetti, CEO and co-founder of Kier’s Kidz, said, “By investing in the work of Oncoheroes we are investing in the lives of pediatric cancer patients who will be helped to survive and to thrive by the new drugs that are developed by Oncoheroes specifically for these children and adolescents.”
