Targeted Investments, Lasting Impact

Our impact isn't limited to individual discoveries and collaborative initiatives — it also comes from targeted, long-term investment. Two priorities anchor this approach: advancing research into pediatric low-grade gliomas and astrocytomas (PLGA), the most common childhood brain tumors, and cultivating the early-career investigators who will lead the field's next breakthroughs.
