Our Story
Oncoheroes was born from two fathers’ journeys through childhood cancer—one marked by survival, the other by loss. Their experiences inspired a bold idea: to build the first biotech company 100% dedicated to developing drugs for children with cancer. What began as a personal fight has become a global mission to turn courage into cures.
Founders
-
Ricardo Garcia
CO-FOUNDER & CEO
A serial entrepreneur who built and led multiple companies, saw his son Richi survive an aggressive brain tumor after a long and complex journey.
-
Cesare Spadoni
CO-FOUNDER & COO
A molecular biologist with decades of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, lost his daughter Laura to cancer and transformed his grief into a determination to change outcomes for others.
Where Experience Meets Purpose
On top of their professional expertise, both founders had already established foundations in pediatric cancer years before Oncoheroes was born, gaining deep insight into the needs of families, clinicians, researchers, and advocates.
Our Vision
At Oncoheroes, we aim to prove that a sustainable biotech 100% dedicated to pediatric cancer drug development is not only possible but necessary. By building a diversified pipeline and running multiple clinical trials in parallel, we create more chances for children who urgently need new options.
With efficiency, collaboration, and purpose, we’re showing that meaningful impact can be achieved at a fraction of the cost of traditional adult oncology—continuing to position Oncoheroes as a global reference and trusted partner in pediatric cancer drug development.
