We are proud to see our CEO, Brian Stemme, featured in a BioCentury article highlighting Hoosier Cancer Research Network’s role in advancing multi-site investigator-initiated trials (IITs)- 

In the article, Brian shares how HCRN helps bridge the gap between academia and industry by connecting investigators with the infrastructure and support needed to turn innovative clinical research ideas into reality.

At Hoosier Cancer Research Network, that same spirit of collaboration drives our mission to strengthen the academic research community, expand access to clinical trials, and generate real-world data that can make a difference for patients.
