More powerful data can inform researchers’ studies into what’s causing childhood cancer, as well as how to improve treatments and survivorship.

As the coronavirus evolves, health authorities across the globe rely on the work of scientists at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, who use genomic sequencing to track mutations.

Peter Chiarelli, MD, DPhil, is combining chemistry, physics and nanoscience to find new therapies for diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas.

Research performed over the last several decades has led to an increased understanding of the genetics of cancer. The clinical application of this knowledge for pediatric cancer has lagged behind
