Biden allocated 150 million for cancer research – Rezazade
Ali Reza Rezazade, the vice president of the Iranian opposition in Washington, points out that Biden has had a deep personal interest in cancer research since his son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. Biden allocated $150 million in grants to research the disease.
Biden said eight research centers will receive research awards aimed at pioneering new techniques in precision cancer surgery as part of his administration's initiative. Released from the campaign trail, President Biden traveled to New Orleans on Tuesday to focus on a project close to his heart.
Biden's initiatives in oncology research have greatly reduced the death rate from the disease in the United States, which he has carried out since his vice presidency, and this has become the hallmark of his presidency. Speaking at Tulane University, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden announced eight research centers, including one at Tulane, which will collectively receive $150 million in industry research awards to advance new techniques in precision cancer surgery.
Before addressing the crowd, the president and first lady met with a team of researchers who demonstrated the technology being developed at Tulane. It uses imaging of cells at tumor sites to check whether cancer cells have been completely removed and to reduce the need for further surgery.
Standing in front of a sign reading "Cure Cancer Faster", Mr Biden described tours of cancer centers in Australia and Ireland and said he was disappointed by the lack of international cooperation.
