New grants and new work!

We are excited to share news of two grants supporting Alex Kovach’s work on the Role of the macro lncRNA KCNQIOT1 in Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma Tumorigenesis: An Innovation award from Alex’s Lemonade Stand and an award from The Kate Amato Foundation. We are grateful for the support of these foundations to pursue this exciting project!

In addition we continue to work with collaborators from here at Duke (Counter lab; Wood Lab), MIT, the Broad Institute, and also Mass General on an NIH-funded U54 Center for the Fusion Oncoproteins in Childhood Cancer Consortium (FusOnC2). You can read more about the projects here.
