AWARDS

Dr. Richard Gorlick- Montefiore Children's Hospital, Bronx- New York- Osteosarcoma Research Laboratory
Dr. Alex Chou- Pediatrics-Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center-New York, New York
NEW GRANT awarded in 2007: The study is attempting to define which pathway(s) is used by osteosarcoma. Additionally it will analyze and prioritize which small molecule pathway inhibitor(s) could be used to treat osteosarcoma.

Peter Menges - Foster Board Member
Robert Panariello - Professional Athletic Performance Center, Garden City, New York
CONTINUED FUNDING in 2007 for the physical conditioning and positive self image program designed especially for children upon completion of or during treatment for any pediatric cancer. Mark Weinblatt, MD, Pediatric Oncology Medical Director at Winthrop-University Hospital's Cancer Center for Kids referred the first two groups of participants in 2006. CLICK HERE for News Article:

Professor Wei Zhu, PHD, New York-Applied Math and Statistics

Renyuan Luo-Graduate Student-Applied Math and Statistics
SUNY at Stony Brook-New York
CONTINUED FUNDING in 2007 for the development of a "translational tool" (computer program) that can predict response to chemotherapy, for Osteosarcoma, prior to treatment using microarray genetic signatures.

Chand Khanna- DVM, PhD, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland - Research & Tumor Metastasis Section - Pediatric Oncology Branch
NEW GRANT for the testing of a "targeted" (limited toxicity) agent for osteosarcoma in an animal study for the National Institute of Health - Comparative Oncology - Pediatrics.

Dr. Richard Gorlick- Montefiore Children's Hospital, Bronx- New York- Osteosarcoma Research Laboratory
NEW GRANT awarded for the upgrade of the genetic sequencer at the pediatric sarcoma lab. This upgrade is a four fold improvement in the labs SAGE sequencing capabilities. CLICK HERE for Thank You Letter
