[ ALSF - Single-cell Pediatric Cancer Atlas Program | Research funding ]
Event details
| Date | 30.09.2019 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) seeks to create datasets that profile pediatric cancers at a single-cell resolution level. Single-cell profiling can provide insights into the heterogeneity of cells in a tumor and the surrounding tumor microenvironment, as well as variability in the states of cancer cells, all of which can influence the cancer’s response to treatments. The pediatric cancer atlas will be an open resource for discovery, and a primary goal of this effort is to produce data that can be harmonized. The Single-cell Pediatric Cancer Atlas (ScPCA) will fund the profiling of pediatric cancer samples. This award is designed to produce an atlas of gene expression profiles for pediatric cancers of different types and from different organ sites that can be harmonized to allow comparison within and across type and site.
