This grant supports the efforts to translate clinical trial materials to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports clinical research staff to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports research staff to maintain a dedicated tumor and tissue bank to be available to collaborative researchers now and in the future. This will enable researchers to investigate potential therapeutic options for children who are unlikely to be cured currently, as well as better characterize and understand differences in drug metabolism and outcomes in certain patient populations.

This grant supports a Clinical Research Coordinator to support the Signature Precision Medicine Study and ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

The AJ Renner Memorial St. Baldrick's Infrastructure Grant funds the Nurse Researchers in the UIC/Rush/Stroger COG Program to ensure more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure. AJ Renner was an amazing volunteer and donor in Chicago and a champion for kids fighting cancer.

This grant provides infrastructure support for research equipment to allow University of South Carolina investigators to advance pediatric cancer treatment research.

This grant supports a Clinical Research Associate to facilitate early-phase pediatric oncology clinical trials in the South Plains Oncology Consortium (SPOC) and ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports a Research Nurse to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

Memorial Health University Medical Center has developed a dedicated Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer program to provide better care and to encourage participation of these patients in clinical trials that will ultimately lead to better treatment outcomes.This grant supports a Clinical Oncology Social Worker to support the AYA Cancer Program and ensure that more AYA patients can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports a Clinical Research Associate to ensure that more kids can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.

This grant supports a scientific meeting to plan a clinical trial for osteosarcoma, focused on using genomic data to define subgroups to receive targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy.

Do you ever get a cold sore on your lip, or know someone who does? That sore is caused by a virus that destroys the cells in your lip. As the virus spreads, the sore gets bigger. Viruses are great at killing cells and spreading. But, the sore eventually goes away because the immune system attacks the infected cells, killing them and stopping the viral infection, allowing your lip to heal. Imagine if we could get both the virus and the immune system to kill cancer cells instead of lip cells! Previously Dr. Haworth's team used a safe version of the cold sore virus to infect a common type of hard-to-treat childhood cancer cells. The virus directly killed cancer cells and caused the immune system to attack the cancer cells that the virus missed. Dr. Haworth's team is testing ways to make the virus and immune system work better together. Dr. Haworth is infecting model tumors with the virus, and giving immune cells designed to attack the tumor, hypothesizing that giving both virus and immune cells will cure the tumor. Awarded at The Research Institute at Nationwide and transferred to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Our immune system has a remarkable ability to eradicate a vast array of foreign invaders. With increasing knowledge of this remarkable organ system, we can now begin to manipulate our immune system to fight cancer with remarkable precision and efficacy. However; tumor cells adopt multiple ways to reduce the immunotherapy efficacy, especially for solid tumors. Dr. Huang's research program systematically studies ways by which cancer cells evade immune cell detection and his goal is to develop a comprehensive, multi-pronged approach to increase the overall effectiveness of immunotherapy, particularly in pediatric and adolescent and young adult brain tumors and solid tumors.
