Accelerating Therapeutics for Opportunities in Medicine (ATOM)

The Accelerating Therapeutics for Opportunities in Medicine (ATOM) Consortium is a public-private partnership whose mission is to transform drug discovery by accelerating the development of more effective therapies for patients.

In June 2016, GSK, the Department of Energy (through Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), and the National Cancer Institute (through Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research) announced their intent to create the ATOM partnership as one of the Cancer Moonshot℠ task forces, with funding support under the 21st Century Cures Act.

Today, ATOM is comprised of a partnership between:

• Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research
• GSK
• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
• University of California, San Francisco
