        Sarcoma Translational Research team

        We think all kids with Sarcoma should be able to lead happy, healthy lives! To achieve this, we aim to discover and develop safer and more effective treatments by doing inventive and rigorous research. We focus on addressing high relapse rates using a combination of unique pre-clinical models, patient samples and systems immunology.
