About the CancerTrialConnect Team

We formed a team of cancer research champions, clinical leaders, and experts in survey design and technology/software engineering from leading research organizations across Minnesota. Our goal is to create a free, easy to use system to improve clinical trial awareness and simplify the screening and referral process for patients and oncologists.
