Our Projects

Project Liam
Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Of all the pediatric brain tumors, high-grade gliomas (HGG) remain the greatest challenge, with few treatment options available and a five-year survival rate of only 10-30 percent. A potential alternative to conventional treatments is to utilize a patient’s own immune system to attack tumor cells—immunotherapy.

The Lee Project
Funded by the Glioblastoma Research Organization, the laboratory of Dr. Steven Millward at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched The Lee Project, which focuses on the directed evolution of vectors for treating GBM.
