Childhood cancer receives less than 4% of U.S. federal cancer research funding — a gap that grows wider just as science is making its most promising breakthroughs in decades. PANDA wants to be part of changing this story by accelerating the research and supporting the scientists who will turn today’s discoveries into tomorrow’s cures.

Part 1: Inflammation & Preventing Colon Cancer
Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (“IBD”) face up to a 4x higher risk of colorectal cancers. The PANDA Catalyst for Cancer Research funds three novel approaches to prevent cancer originating in the colon by discovering new links between nutrition, gut environment, and remission therapies.
