About Us

Promoting Collaboration and Progress

Our mission at the I-PCC is to connect scientists in the fields of basic and translational research to accelerate discoveries and advance progress for pancreatic cancer. By connecting leading scientific minds, we can expand treatment and accomplish more than we ever could alone.

Proudly Supported by La Fondazione Nadia Valsecchi

Our community growth efforts are supported by Fondazione Nadia Valsecchi. Without their endorsement, our collaborative research efforts would not exist. If you would like to learn more about the foundation and how it funds pancreatic cancer research, visit the website today!
