The Lyla
Nsouli Foundation is proud to announce the award of a 67,000 USD pilot grant to
Dr. Sakir ‘Hume’ Gultekin, Neuropathologist and Associate Professor of
Pathology, Oregon Health & Science University. In this pilot study, Dr. Gultekin will
examine a new set of cell surface receptors in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) to determine whether their
co-expression matches a profile consistent with novel therapeutic targets.
While at the earliest stage of preclinical development, it is hoped that novel
targets and unique therapeutic approaches might lead to a clinical trial for
children with DIPG in the foreseeable future.
