Our Perspective
Our view is that meaningful progress in cancer research depends not only on new data, but on better systems for structuring knowledge, prioritizing what matters, and turning fragmented information into usable research intelligence. Altura is structured as a for-profit company to support speed, focus, talent, and long-term execution.
Leadership
Our Founder
Altura was founded by Jim French, Founder and CEO. A cancer survivor who lost his mother to cancer, he founded Altura from the belief that cancer research and care should advance faster, with better use of technology, data, and disciplined reasoning. After founding and leading companies across multiple industries, he built a background in strategy, systems, operations, and long-term company building, with a strong focus on automation, big data, and AI. Altura is being built for the long term, with the aim of becoming a credible, durable, and collaborative research organization.
