On this Research Impact page, we showcase real game-changers - research that changes the very way other scientists around the world think and approach challenges. The far-reaching impact on children and families for all the stories shown on these pages is both exciting and significant.

Research

Cancers in children are very different from cancers in adults - in most cases they appear to strike simply at random. They also develop differently and can spread more rapidly and aggressively. And because cancers in children are not obviously linked to their lifestyles, much work is needed to pinpoint their cause.

Our team aims to better understand how the immune response to immune challenges, such as viral infections can influence the risk of developing asthma or autoimmune disease.
