A World We Dare to Imagine Part 3


Cancer Cloud Consortium

·         Mission
Our mission is to utilize the latest technologies, with an emphasis in cloud computing, to cure cancer. We want to bridge the gap between different organizations and create an inclusive environment that allows medical professionals to work together to cure cancer. We heavily emphasize providing solutions for all people, regardless of economic status, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs.

·         Why you are passionate about the work that your organization will do?
We have the opportunity to save millions of lives and treat one of the greatest medical mysteries. According to the World Health Organization, cancers are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths per year. Furthermore, it is expected that annual cancer cases will rise from 14 million new cases per year (based on 2012 date) to 22 new cases per year within the next 2 decades. I am passionate eliminating because I know individuals with cancer and know that everybody in their lifetime will know others that have cancer too.

·         What is unique about what your organization intends to do?
The emergence of machine learning, cloud computing, and DNA sequencing are allowing doctors have more data than ever before. Ultimately this data can be used to cure cancer. However, in the current day, data is not shared effectively. According to CIO Magazine, “huge cancer research centers are afraid to share their data for security reasons and the datasets are so big that you can’t send them anyplace in order to pool analytics.” Therefore, we will foster a secure environment that organizations feel comfortable working with. Furthermore, another hurdle for cancer researchers is that they need a place to store their data and tools to analyze enormous datasets. Because of this problem, we will work with technology companies to help cancer centers better understand tools and solutions they can implement. Once solutions and cures are discovered, we will shift our focus to provide cancer treatment throughout the world.


·         Why should Anima Mundi Development Partners support your organization?
We are inclusive, diverse, and strive to make the world a better place. Ultimately the Cancer Cloud Consortium will pave the way to cancers cures and change the current research environment. With innovation and solutions for everybody, we hope to have cancer cures within the next decade.
