Exploring ‘Junk DNA’ to find undiscovered causes of cancer
Using a new way to measure genetic variation in key sections of noncoding DNA.
We have been funding expert research since 2016, aiming to ensure that every child and young person has a safe and effective treatment for their cancer, and that they can live long and happy lives post-treatment.
