Two UC San Francisco faculty members are among three promising young researchers nationally recognized for their work in pediatric oncology. UCSF’s Adam de Smith, PhD, and Kyle Walsh, PhD, will share a $1.35 million award with Duke University’s Lisa Crose, PhD.

The funding comes from Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancers. Its three ‘A’ Awards will provide each recipient $450,000 over three years to further their work. De Smith plans to examine acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Walsh will study osteosarcoma, and Crose’s research interest is rhabdomyosarcoma.
