Vera Moura applied for the 2009 edition of the Arrisca Coimbra competition with a technology for cancer treatment.
The project won the InovCapital award, worth 5,000 euros, and in January 2010, the biotech company TREAT U was created. The researcher states that the award was the impulse that drove the company creation. “Now, we are ensuring the means to take this new treatment into clinical trials” with the goal of internalization, because “cancer is a global market”.
