🔬Childhood Cancer Researcher Highlight: Meet Dr. Heinrich Kovar!

Heinrich Kovar, PhD is the team lead for the Crazy 8 project that is working to understand the origins of bone sarcomas, like Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma. Dr. Kovar and his team have focused on a gene called EWS/FLI1, which plays a role in Ewing sarcoma. They’ve produced a map of human stem cells—special cells that develop into many different cell types—to track when EWS/FLI1 causes bone and other connective tissue cells to transform into tumors. Ultimately, their innovative work could lead to cures for children with bone sarcomas. Dr. Kovar will be featured in September's Childhood Cancer Lecture Series.
