Identification of Key Genetic and Growth Control Pathway Changes in JPA

A collaborative project led by principal investigators Dr. David Gutmann and Dr. Tobey MacDonald at Washington University to conducting the first truly comprehensive genomic, genetic and proteomic analysis of JPAs. This project applies cutting edge bioinformatics techniques to proven genetic, genomic and proteomic analyses which have helped lead to the development of “targeted therapeutics” in a number of adult cancers. A Kid’s Brain Tumor Cure recognizes the Brain Tumor Society (BTS) Boston for their support on this project.

Funded in 2006.
