ADC Program 52 Views of Cancer

Presenting 52 Views of Cancer, a one-of-a-kind deck of playing cards illustrated by people who know cancer firsthand. Each card features original artwork by a different cancer patient, survivor, or immediate family member, each with their own view of the disease.

The artwork comes first. We're bringing the deck to major scientific and medical conferences and putting these artists' work directly into the hands of the researchers and clinicians working on the cancers they've faced.

The deck is also how we’re introducing our work in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). We are currently developing ADCs for a wide variety of cancers including ovarian, breast, lung, colon, neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, diffuse midline glioma, and glioblastoma.

A note from our CEO

“My mother passed away from metastatic kidney cancer. My sister-in-law is a breast cancer survivor. I have dear friends that have passed, survived or are fighting cancer. And recently, my daughter was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

My daughter is a wonderful artist, among her many other talents, and while looking at some of her artwork the other day, I came up with this concept to create a collection of art that highlights the patients’ stories, with a goal of inspiring the scientists and clinicians in their effort to find cures.

I have the privilege to work at a company that is full of these scientists working on new cancer drugs. Drugs that could help my daughter, my friends, and all the other people touched by cancer. I see this project as way for beauty and hope and resilience to motivate us to up our game in the fight against cancer.”
