Description:
ALSF seeks to build a Pediatric Cancer Atlas as an open resource for discovery with an initial goal of producing data that can be harmonized. ALSF seeks researchers 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 budget for this award is $200,000 USD over one year.
