World Cancer Day 2025

๐ŸŽ— Cancer affects us all. Most of us know someone who is fighting this battle. With around 20 million new cancer cases diagnosed each year, itโ€™s something that touches almost every family, every group of friends, every workplace.

Thereโ€™s a lot of incredible work happening in research and medicine to better understand cancer and find safer, more effective treatments. Some of the most promising approaches right now include:

But thereโ€™s another promising avenue in cancer research that doesnโ€™t get talked about as much โ€“ ionchannels and transporters. More and more research is showing that they play a big role in cancer. Ion channels and transporters can regulate tumor growth, drug resistance, and metastasis, offering a new frontier for innovative treatments.

At ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, weโ€™re proud to support researchers exploring this important area. With our technologies, they can study ion channels and transporters as possible new targets for cancer treatment as well as find ways to make treatments more effective and safer for patients.

We know weโ€™re just one piece of the puzzle, but every piece counts. And if our tools can help scientists get even one step closer to better treatments, then thatโ€™s something truly worth working for.

Today, on World Cancer Day, we stand with everyone affected by cancer โ€“ the patients, the families, the researchers, the doctors, and all those who keep hoping for better days ahead.
