The MBC Grants Dataset can be categorized in a variety of ways. For example, the numbers of
awards over time investigating specific molecular targets can be separated according to whether
the model system or study type is preclinical (using a model system, using cell lines, or is a “gene
hunt”), technologic (involves developing a diagnostic or prognostic tool or imaging technique), or
is aimed at developing a therapy or intervention. For example, here we show this assessment for
research related to integrins and cadherins (Figure 8a) and cytokines and chemokines (Figure
8b).
