A new era of medical research begins, empowering the community to drive innovation and accelerate the discovery of life-saving treatments.

In its latest bid to take action on its goal of leveraging emerging technologies to vastly improve the state of modern healthcare, health community Galeon is launching a bold new nonprofit funding initiative, aimed at kickstarting new discoveries and innovations in drug repurposing, to the tune of €500,000. This effort by Galeon, which utilizes blockchain to connect hospitals and offers a cutting-edge selection of other solutions, shows a visionary focus on helping the most vulnerable.

Unleashing the Power of Drug Repurposing

Drug repurposing is at the core of Galeon’s current campaign, and is an essential avenue for the discovery and acceleration of lifesaving treatments. By leveraging scientific knowledge already used to create existing treatments, drug repurposing aims to take preexisting off-patent drugs and discover new ways they can be used to help people with currently unmet medical needs. This approach offers much faster development for therapies that could be lifesavers for a large number of people.

Why Off-Patent Therapies?

By focusing on off-patent drugs, which have long standing regulatory body approval but are no longer protected by an exclusive marketing rights, this initiative will not only offer much faster solutions to myriad health considerations but will also help drive down costs for these new treatments as well, marking a major achievement for any modern healthcare program. Expanding access through these two features is also a central focus of the initiative.

More impressive than the lofty goals of the initiative is Galeon’s open and transparent approach to ensuring that the funding produces maximum impact in healthcare. This no strings attached approach to the off-patent research is essential to fostering the sort of innovation needed for the initiative to succeed.

A Commitment with No Strings Attached

This initiative is entirely non-profit, with the only required benefit going to the world at large by way of new and accessible innovation that solves healthcare issues that were previously underserved, and more specifically to those that desperately need these treatments. In service of this non-profit endeavor and to ensure maximum impact, the research grant will be bestowed following an open and transparent selection process that will ensure the funding gets to those that are most well-equipped and passionate enough to give the best results.

Transparent Selection Process

The first step in the selection process is acceptance of proposals from various sources interested in leveraging the €500,000 fund for research and development within the framework of drug repurposing. The proposals will be required to focus on research to create new treatments using that methodology, aimed at tackling new conditions.

These proposals will then be scrutinised by an independent committee made up of distinguished scientific professionals to determine which shows the most promise and will net the most benefit for the healthcare sector. The evaluation promises to be rigorous and lean on combined decades of medical and research expertise to come to a conclusion in an open and efficient manner untainted by the free-market applications and other considerations.

In addition to the esteemed committee, Galeon will also be leveraging its community of pioneers to weigh in on the selection process, further guaranteeing an equitable outcome from the generous grant. Once the selection is made, the winning proposal will be funded with no strings attached beyond their professional commitment to meet the objectives of the proposal as presented.

Join the Revolution

While Galeon is steadfast in its dedication to improving the efficacy and accessibility of healthcare for all, those lofty goals are the sort that are best strived for hand in hand, as there’s so much work to be done. Fortunately, a €500,000 grant from a future-proof healthcare think tank is just one of many ways to progress towards a goal. Even you can help by reaching out and helping Galeon achieve its goals for the healthcare sector. By joining in on this ambitious project, you’ll directly contribute to stellar goals like;

  • Accelerate the discovery of life-saving treatments by leveraging existing medical knowledge alongside cutting edge tools and techniques.
  • Support open and transparent research that ensures maximum impact gain from the funding
  • Empower the community to drive innovation and encourage more initiatives of the sort worldwide.
  • Ensure that everyone has access to affordable healthcare through the cost-effective solutions produced by drug repurposing.
