The Fund Yvonne and Jacques François-de Meurs was created to help medical scientific research in Belgium in the field of diabetes and cancer. In particular, it supports research projects that bring creativity and innovation and have perspectives of concrete application. In the period 2012 - 2018, diabetes was privileged. From 2019 onwards, the focus lies on cancer.
