AACR-PCWG Across the Map

Pediatric cancer research advances through people: investigators building programs, asking difficult questions, developing collaborations, and working to improve outcomes for children with cancer.

Across the Map is an AACR Pediatric Cancer Working Group series highlighting pediatric cancer researchers across regions, institutions, disciplines, and communities.

The series begins with Researcher Spotlights designed to increase visibility, strengthen connection, and showcase the people advancing pediatric cancer research across the field.
