As we reflect on the year, we celebrate the incredible progress being made in childhood cancer research, thanks to leaders like Dr. Crystal Mackall. Her work on CAR-T cell therapy has shown promise in treating deadly brain cancers like DIPG. One patient, after participating in a Stanford trial, has been cancer-free for four years! With breakthroughs like this, hope is growing. Join us in supporting this vital research and help us reach our $150K goal to give more children a chance at a brighter future.

Uniquely positioned to accelerate the pace of pediatric drug development. We're on a mission to end children's cancer.
About us
For more than 30 years, CureSearch has been a driving force in pediatric cancer research. Recognizing a broken system, growing obstacles, and unmet needs in drug development, we’ve launched an innovative and unique strategy to address the urgent, critical need for new childhood cancer treatments. By supporting CureSearch, you’re funding research that’s on the path to quickly becoming a drug accessible to the children who so desperately need new treatment options, and you’re providing innovative platforms that allow stakeholders to work smarter, faster and more collaboratively. With the expert leadership of our Scientific and Industry Advisory Councils, we identify and fund only the strongest research projects that address areas of unmet need and are most likely to quickly reach patients in the clinic or marketplace. We create connections and community between stakeholders by providing platforms for engagement to allow critical conversations to occur. CureSearch stakeholder meetings such as the annual CureSearch Summit and first-of-its-kind IMPACT Series directly influence and advance pediatric cancer research and drug development. Together, we’re changing the drug development landscape from within and accelerating the development of new treatments for the 42 children diagnosed with cancer each day.

We’re proud to introduce our latest funded researcher, Dr. Prensner of University of Michigan Medical School, whose groundbreaking work is made possible by your support! Dr. Prensner is tackling atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT), one of the most aggressive pediatric brain tumors. His innovative approach explores something entirely new: tiny pieces of DNA, once considered unimportant, that could hold the key to developing targeted treatments for this devastating disease. This research offers hope for families facing ATRT and is a critical step toward better outcomes for children with cancer. As part of CureSearch's growing co-funding model, the project is generously supported in part by the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation (JGCF) and Violet's Village: The Violet Kenney Legacy Fund at CureSearch.

Together, we took an important step toward advancing research and making a difference for children battling cancer. #curesearch #childhoodcancer
