Special Thanks

We are grateful to the Rally Foundation for a recent grant in the amount of $17,076 which will fund testing of one novel therapeutic compound for medulloblastoma and another for rhabdomyosarcoma in our genetically-engineered mouse models. The Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research is a non-profit organization, which through volunteers across the country, aims to raise awareness and funds specifically for childhood cancer research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancers (March 2009).

 

Our thanks go to the Joanna McAfee Childhood Cancer Foundation for their grant in the amount of $8,538 to test sorafenib for efficacy in a preclinical model of the childhood muscle cancer, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. This is the first (of hopefully many) adult cancer drugs that we plan to test for activity in our genetically-engineered mouse models of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma and medulloblastoma through our Pediatric Preclinical Testing Initiative.

We thank SciCan for the generous gift of an instrument sterilizer.

 

We sincerely thank consultant Mei "May" Zhang for our tutorial on advanced mouse ultrasound imaging. (March 2007)

We are grateful to Sharp USA for providing our laboratory with a gift of advanced 3D LCD computer monitors to aid our scientific research and our advanced small animal imaging visualization program. (February 2007)

 

We are thankful to the Scott Carter Foundation for their generous directed gift to advance research in Sarcomas. (December 2006)
