“Cancers in children are rare, and the genetics and epigenetic causes are very different from those of adults. Consequently, the study of the etiology and potential therapies for these tumors requires intensive research. The majority of children diagnosed with cancer survive their disease, but the long-term consequences of current treatments lead to lifelong health issues. Thus, one of the primary goals of research at the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute (GCCRI) is to identify and exploit weaknesses that are induced by oncogenic changes, to develop novel therapeutic approaches that will be tumor-specific and have less toxicity than current multimodality treatments.”

Since 2004, UT Health San Antonio, Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute’s (Greehey CCRI) mission has been to advance scientific knowledge relevant to childhood cancer, contribute to understanding its causes, and accelerate the translation of knowledge into novel therapies. Greehey CCRI strives to have a national and global impact on childhood cancer by discovering, developing, and disseminating new scientific knowledge. Our mission consists of three key areas — research, clinical, and education.
