Deposit your research tools with CancerTools.org

“I found out about CancerTools.org through my colleagues at the TTO who met representatives from CancerTools.org at a scientific meeting. I think CancerTools.org is an interesting mode of action, which has a lot of potential benefit to amplify the benefits of previous research, by not allowing important biological tools to be lost. Tools which I developed long ago in my PhD can be made available to whoever wants to use them.”

Prof. Pierre Schembri WismayerMalta University

“CancerTools.org was great - they fully understood my concerns and were able to successfully transport my reagents from the Netherlands to the UK and store them safely in CancerTools.org's repository. I am thoroughly relieved that my reagents are safe and have every trust in CancerTools.org, that they will be managed properly. It is fantastic news that my scientific legacy will not be going to waste and will instead be available for any researcher to access and use as needed.”

“The University was attracted to working with CancerTools.org because the CancerTools.org team dedicates 100% of its time to research tool commercialisation. A master agreement put in place between Lancaster and Cancer Research Technology makes it very easy to add new materials and for CancerTools.org to make them quickly available to its network of commercial parties and academics.”

Dr. Gavin SmithUniversity of Lancaster

“I think it’s great! It’s very nice that the antibodies are available to people. It really makes sense that it’s done efficiently and commercially. It was helpful when Cancer Research UK took over and started to look after the cells and so on, as in the end, it is a distraction from your work when you are sending them around.”

“Working with CancerTools.org has provided an easy way of getting research reagents into the academic community. We value the fact that CancerTools.org proactively identifies reagents, and have found that their processes are efficient and straightforward, and payment is on time.”

“Partnering with CancerTools.org provided the advantage that people would receive a standardised product. This is because scaling up to the same facilities of a full production laboratory can be difficult in a research focused lab.”

Prof. Irene LeighQueen Mary University of London

“We chose to work with CancerTools.org because of two main benefits; The PI gets recognition and their research tools dispersed and the tech transfer office gets resource support above and beyond the creation of MTAs. The fact that anything generated goes to a non-profit at both ends of the process is nice too, as it benefits everyone.”

“We at the TTO, never focused our energy on life sciences research reagents, they were stored by academics for use in thesis/ MTA requests. Academics are usually more reserved about their reagents and materials, but now they seem to have opened up. CancerTools.org is making it easy – they have a global network, provide a fair share of revenue and can help us commercialise our reagents. They were also very flexible - we can still store the reagents here, but they can be requested through CancerTools.org.”
