Biden announces new grant for medical facilities researching ways to cure cancer
Joe Biden announces $150 million in Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) awards to develop technologies that will enable surgeons to perform more successful tumor-removal surgeries for cancer patients. "We're moving quickly because we know all families touched by cancers are in a race against time," the US president tells attendees at an event in New Orleans, Louisiana, following a tour of medical facilities at Tulane University. "We're mobilizing the whole-of-country effort to cut American cancer deaths in half in 25 years," he adds.
