 Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute

Pediatric Cancer Data Commons

“University of Chicago researchers are working to create a comprehensive Pediatric Cancer Data Commons (PCDC) that centralizes data and makes it easily accessible to the entire research community.”

Research Priorities

If we’re going to find cures for children with cancer, we have to think big, work smart, and fund research that helps them survive and thrive.  Leading pediatric oncology experts work with us to determine our research priorities, which help kids of all ages and with all types of childhood cancers.
