 New Research Grant Announced! 

ABC2/The V Foundation Co-Fund $1 Million Duke University Grant

Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure and The V Foundation have awarded a $1 million research grant to Dr. Hai Yan from Duke University Medical Center to further develop novel approaches to target gliomas.
 
Dr. Yan’s project is a cutting-edge exploration of IDH mutations in cancer metabolism and tumor development as well as a pioneering effort to develop clinical diagnostic tools and molecular-based therapies. “This grant provides me with an exceptional opportunity to conduct this study which could lead to a greater understanding of cancer metabolism. It may yield clues to targeting other cancers as well,” said Dr. Yan. “These new discoveries and the areas of research will give our patients hope.”
 
Collaboration is critical to speeding the development of new treatments for patients living with brain cancer.  Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure is proud to team up with The V Foundation on this important research.
