September marks National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and this year at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, we kick-started the commemorative period on the heels of exciting news about breakthroughs in pediatric cancer immunotherapy research.
Two recent awards to CHOP researchers show the incredible breadth of research being conducted at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute every day. Supported by the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Commonwealth Universal Research Enhancement program, Struan Grant, Phd, will lead an investigation of the genetic links between type 2 diabetes and cancer, while Jennifer F. Culhane, PhD, will study developmental-behavioral screening instruments in children.
