Joe Biden: National effort to cure cancer by genomics

[After his son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015] , Joe opened up about his grief on television. "Sometimes it just sort of overwhelms you," he said. "[There are] so many people who have losses as severe, or maybe worse, than mine, and don't have the with a new moonshot, America can cure cancer'" Obama said. "Tonight, I'm announcing a new national effort to get it done. And I'm putting Joe in charge of Mission Control. For the loved ones we've all lost, for the family we can still save, let's make America the country that cures cancer once and for all."

In June 2016, Biden unveiled the federal Genomic Data Commons--a database for consolidating all the key clinical trials, stats, and treatments [among other actions on the "Cancer Moonshot"].
