Dr. Poul Sorensen (Molecular Oncology), with co-investigator Dr. Wei Li (University of Pittsburgh), has been awarded with a pediatric Ewing sarcoma research grant from St. Baldrick's Foundation.
The Martha’s Better Ewing Sarcoma Treatment (BEST) Grant for All, named after a remarkable teenager who was fighting Ewing sarcoma and passed away in 2022, was awarded to Dr. Sorensen and Dr. Li for a project titled, "Better Ewing Sarcoma Treatment."
“We have an overwhelming desire to see this transition into clinical trials for kids with Ewing sarcoma,” said Dr. Sorensen. “A clinical trial represents the culmination of Martha’s family’s hopes with this grant, and holds strong potential to improve outcomes for these children.”
