Translating today's discoveries in childhood cancer research into tomorrow's treatments.

One of only two institutes in the United States dedicated solely to pediatric cancer research, the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, with its 18 laboratories, focuses its strengths in cancer genomics, DNA repair, RNA biology, and drug development to find new and less toxic treatments for childhood cancers.

Our strengths include cancer genomics, DNA damage, RNA biology, and drug development. We are developing expertise in drug delivery, with a focus on nanotechnology-driven delivery of small RNA mimics and inhibitors.
