Dr. Mona Jhaveri, the Founder and Executive director at Music Beats Cancer. She launched Music Beats Cancer to address the “Valley of Death,” the growing gap in funding that constrains the translation of cancer research discoveries into clinical applications. As cancer affects millions around the globe each year, efforts to cure this disease have largely focused on cancer research rather than cancer product development. Dr. Jhaveri believes that the key to bridging the Valley of Death is to: Raise public awareness about the Valley of Death and its impact on our progress on the war against cancer; Create a funding platform that empowers the public to directly and transparently support the development of cancer-fighting solutions.
Dr. Jhaveri holds a doctorate in biochemistry from the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University. She trained as a post-doctoral fellow at the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Jhaveri was granted the SPORE Fellowship Award for Breast Cancer Research at the Lombardi Cancer Center of Georgetown University.
