Congratulations to Dr. Lars Wagner of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital
Medical Center (CCHMC) on being awarded a 2005 research grant from
CancerFree Kids. This research grant will help fund a study to look at
the MGMT protein to determine what percentage of tumors contain it and
to see if a new drug can be added to the chemo regimen to enhance the
effectiveness and lower its resistance to the current drugs now being
administered.
Dr. Wagner is joined on this project, which is officially titled the
“Assessment of MGMT as a Therapeutic Target for Neuroblastoma”, by Drs.
Collins and Weiss. Dr. Wagner is an Associate Professor of Clinical
Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and a member
of the JTHF Medical Advisory Board. He is active in the fight against
pediatric brain tumors and nationally recognized as a leader in his
field of study.
