Two groups of Tulane University students are being given a chance to found a startup business to develop breast cancer-related inventions into products.
The two groups are among 10 winning student teams that competed in the Avon Foundation for Women’s first international Breast Cancer Startup Challenge, done in partnership with the National Institutes of Health and the Center for Advancing Innovation.
Each team gets an initial $5,000 prize to develop new breast cancer technologies into commercial products, negotiate licensing agreements and raise seed funding to further develop their inventions.
