🔬 Just published! @ucsctreehouse’s paper shows that an approach called RNA sequencing analysis is feasible and potentially useful for many children with cancer. "The next step will be to directly evaluate the clinical utility of this approach. This study has set the stage for us to do that," @ucsctreehouse Co-Founder Olena Vaske said.

Ready to feel the wind on your scalp? AWESOME!!! Join us — we are going bald on 10/25 to raise money for pediatric cancer research!
Pediatric cancer research drives new and better treatments for kids with cancer. Sadly, this research is widely underfunded .... but you can help change that by being bold and going bald on 10/25!

This event is free to attend, but if you plan to get your head shaved, we encourage you to register NOW and ask your friends and family for donations for childhood cancer research: Register & donate at link in bio.
