LabCures is a platform for people to directly fund and communicate with healthcare Innovators in the life-sciences. It aims at bridging what is called 'The Valley of Death' where research ideas that could potentially lead to a disease cure 'die' because they do not receive enough financial support. When Launched in Summer of 2014 at www.labcures.com, the platform will also increase efficiency in research and development by streamlining communication, awareness and access to information among research groups, funders and patients around the world.
