Identification of Key Genetic and Growth Control Pathway Changes in JPA that Represent Potential Molecular Targets for...

Principal Investigators Dr. David Gutmann and Dr. Tobey MacDonald, Washington University

A collaborative project conducting the first truly comprehensive genomic, genetic and proteomic analysis of JPAs.  The project is being conducted by Dr. David Gutmann and Dr. Tobey MacDonald.  This project will apply cutting edge bioinformatics techniques to proven genetic, genomic and proteomic analyses which have helped lead to the development of "targeted therapeutics" in a number of adult cancers.

The PLGA Foundation recognizes the Brain Tumor Society (BTS) Boston for their support on this project.
