Children wearing super hero costumes

Greehey Children's Cancer Research Institute

One of only two institutes in the United States dedicated solely to pediatric cancer research, the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, has developed more novel therapies in national trials than any other group in the US. Treatments developed by us are a standard of care in the U.S.A, Europe and Asia for high-risk solid tumors.

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

    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.
