Penn State alumnus Tait Huso and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation founder Alex Scott have one thing in common — a mission to conduct research to help children fighting childhood cancer.

Though Alex lost her battle with neuroblastoma in 2004, young scientists awarded with the ALSF Pediatric Oncology Student Training Program grant have the opportunity to continue her fight against cancer.

This year Huso, Class of 2013, has been awarded with the POST grant, and will continue conducting research under Linda Resar, associate professor of medicine, oncology and pediatrics at John Hopkins University.

ALSF Grant Specialist Patty Ohlott said the foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of lives for children with cancer and their families, and the POST program helps the organization achieve that mission.

“I’m really excited for what the POST program allows us and young scientists to do,” Ohlott said. “Part of our mission is to help bring people into pediatric oncology research, and have them gain a realistic sense of what it’s like to work in the research world.”
