We have one of the largest pediatric brain tumor and leukemia/lymphoma programs in the country (we follow more than 580 and 780 children and young adults each year with brain tumors and leukemia/lymphoma, respectively).
We generate direct costs of over $16 million per year in extramural research funding, including more than $9.4 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
