Pediatric oncologist Dr. Scott Furlan was drawn to bone marrow transplantation because of its complexity and challenge. His research uses single-cell genomics, in which sophisticated devices separate specimens into units of individual cells and subject them to genetic sequencing to reveal how diseased cells differ from healthy ones. His goal is to bridge the gaps between scientific discoveries and the children who would benefit from them.

A cancer prevention and integrative medicine researcher, Dr. Heather Greenlee hopes that by bringing evidence-based offerings like acupuncture, massage, yoga and mindfulness into a formal oncology setting, patients will have effective options for managing some symptoms, like pain and fatigue, that can be difficult to treat. And, importantly, patients will be less likely to pursue techniques that don’t have legitimate research behind them.
