The project

RNA therapeutics to target aggressive medulloblastoma

This study is developing a new RNA-based treatment for an aggressive childhood brain tumor by targeting molecules that help cancer cells grow. The goal is to stop tumor growth without harming normal cells, potentially leading to a safer and more effective therapy.
