Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is a research hospital dedicated to cancer research, training and patient care. This funding will support the creation of The Center for Developmental Oncology (DevOnc) at MSKCC. DevOnc will serve as the hospital’s hub for pediatric cancer research and unite a skilled team of translational researchers to study cancers affecting children, adolescents and young adults. The research center will offer a bi-directional translation, meaning that clinical observations and patient samples will be transferred from bedside to lab, and lab discoveries will be brought directly to patients at the clinic.
