Daniel Wechsler M.D., Ph.D.

Funded: 07-01-2014 through 06-30-2015
Funding Type: Research Grant
Institution Location: Durham, NC
Institution: Duke University Medical Center affiliated with Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center

Improving the outcome of aggressive childhood leukemias depends on developing new targeted treatments. With the NetApp St. Baldrick's Research Grant, Dr. Wechsler is studying a mutant gene called CALM-AF10 that causes high-risk leukemias in children. They determined that the leukemia-causing properties of this gene depend on its interaction with a partner protein called CRM1. This research is studying the mechanisms by which CRM1 enables CALM-AF10 to cause leukemias, and the ability of drugs to inhibit CRM1 to stop leukemia growth.

This grant is named for the NetApp team, whose offices around the world have raised more than $5.8 million since 2007 for life-saving research through the St. Baldrick's Foundation.

Cheryl Willman M.D.

Funded: 07-01-2014 through 06-30-2015
Funding Type: Research Grant
Institution Location: Albuquerque, NM
Institution: University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center affiliated with UNM Children's Hospital

While many children with leukemia experience good outcomes on modern therapies, there are a large number of children who still relapse and die of their disease. Using new methods, Dr. Willman identified a new form of leukemia, called Ph-like ALL, which has a variety of gene mutations which code for enzymes. Currently, drugs that inhibit these enzymes are available for clinical trials. Dr. Willman is testing these drugs in children with high risk leukemia. This research aims to extend Dr. Willman's current studies to include children with standard risk leukemia in order to also improve their chances of survival.

Hui Zhang Ph.D., M.D.

Researcher Photo

Funded: 07-01-2014 through 06-30-2019
Funding Type: International Scholar
Institution Location: Memphis, TN
Institution: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Based on progress to date, Dr. Zhang was awarded new grants in 2017 and 2018 to fund additional years of this International Scholar award. Though cure rates have improved dramatically, geographic inequities in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy remain evident between developed vs. low-middle income countries. In China, about 7,700 newly-diagnosed children with ALL every year receive therapy thanks to the coverage provided by a special national health insurance scheme established in 2010. With the drastic increase in access to clinical care, the challenge is now shifting from remedying the inability to pay for ALL therapy to delivering better therapy and improving outcome. Dr. Zhang is working to bring improved therapy to China. This represents an unprecedented opportunity for translational research of childhood ALL in China, with potential impacts for a large number of patients.
