Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: 🎗️ THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE TOMLINSON LAB
September 18, 2026Why does one child develop cancer while another doesn’t? That question drives the work of Gail Tomlinson, MD, PhD, and her team at the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute. The Tomlinson Lab studies the genetic origins of childhood cancer, with …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: 🎗️ THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE SUNG LAB
September 16, 2026Our cells constantly repair DNA damage. Understanding how that repair works—and what happens when it fails—can reveal important clues about cancer. At the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute at UT San Antonio, Patrick Sung, DPhil, leads the Su …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: 🎗️ THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE SHIIO LAB
September 15, 2026What if childhood cancer depends on a communication system researchers could learn to interrupt? At the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, the Shiio Lab, led by Yuzuru Shiio, studies the molecular signals that help childhood cancers grow and …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: 🎗️ THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE RAO LAB
September 14, 2026A tumor doesn’t grow alone. Cancer cells live within a complex neighborhood of immune cells, supportive cells, blood vessels and other structures. Together, they form what scientists call the tumor microenvironment—and that environment can help cancer …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: 🎗️ THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE PERTSEMLIDIS LAB
September 11, 2026Some of the most important instructions inside a cancer cell may come from genetic material that doesn’t make proteins at all. At the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, the Pertsemlidis Lab, led by Alexander Pertsemlidis, PhD, combines compu …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: 🎗️ THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE PENALVA LAB
September 10, 2026What if we could stop an aggressive childhood brain tumor by disrupting the instructions it depends on to grow? At the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, the Penalva Lab, led by Luiz O.F. Penalva, PhD, studies RNA—the molecules that help cel …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: 🎗️ THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE LIBICH LAB
September 9, 2026What if one of the biggest obstacles to treating a childhood cancer is that its main cancer-causing protein won’t hold still long enough to target it? That is part of the challenge facing researchers studying Ewing sarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone a …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE KITAGAWA LAB 🎗️
September 8, 2026Cancer cells are notorious rule-breakers. Sometimes, they even end up with the wrong number of chromosomes. At the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, the Kitagawa Lab, led by Katsumi Kitagawa, Pharm.D., PhD, is investigating how mistakes inv …
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE GOLD RIBBON: THE IGNATIUS LAB🎗️
September 4, 2026Why do some childhood cancers return after treatment—and why can they be so much harder to treat the second time? At the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, the Ignatius Lab, led by Myron Ignatius, PhD, is working to answer those questions by …
CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH: 🎗️ The Science Behind the Gold Ribbon: Gupta Lab
September 3, 2026What if researchers could see the machinery inside a cancer cell closely enough to figure out exactly how to disrupt it? At the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute, the Gupta Lab, led by Yogesh K. Gupta, M.Tech, PhD, studies the molecular stru …
