New Video Series: Cancer Moonshot Progress

Cancer Moonshot: New Video Series and Updates The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is excited to announce a new video series highlighting the progress that has been made through various Cancer MoonshotSM initiatives and programs - as told directly by Cancer Moonshot grantees.   These short videos provide an update that is accessible to many audiences, and will be shared in addition to the longer monthly scientific seminars available for the research community. New Video: Discovering Drivers of Childhood Cancer The first video of the series, Discovering Drivers of Childhood Cancer, features Dr. Kimberly Stegmaier of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In the video, Dr. Stegmaier describes the progress her research team has made in Ewing sarcoma. Her team's work targeting the EWS-FLI fusion, one of the fusion oncoproteins that drives childhood cancers, addresses the Blue Ribbon Panel recommendation to Intensify Research on the Major Drivers of Childhood Cancer.
