Basically fighting childhood cancer

August 19, 2024

Why the focus on basic research? We’re sometimes asked why Unravel tends to fund studies that are done entirely in the lab, rather than directly with kids.  The quick answer is that basic lab work is necessary to develop the new drugs, devices, and other treatments that will be tested on patients to see if […]
