Exploring underlying mechanisms
of pediatric cancers and seeking
less toxic treatments.

At the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer  and Blood Disorders Research

Our Mission.

We are exploring the epigenetics of pediatric leukemias and lymphomas to gain insight into how and why these cancers start, in hopes of ultimately finding better treatments. Led by Dr. Jay Sarthy, this work could shed light on why some cancers are resistant to treatment or come back after treatment. The Sarthy Lab is also examining a chemotherapy drug often used in Asia to treat elderly cancer patients to see if it could become a frontline treatment for pediatric cancers. This drug could have fewer side effects than today’s standard treatments.
