Every day, there are almost 800 new cases of childhood cancer around the world. This adds up to an estimated 300,000 new cases of cancer that affect children under the age of 20 each year worldwide. And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded with less than 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research dedicated to childhood cancers each year.

The MacQuarrie lab is part of the Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. While we focus in particular on the pediatric tumor rhabdomyosarcoma, our goal is to improve the care of all children with cancer through scientific discovery. Donating to support pediatric cancer research can help us get closer to that goal!
