Grant awarded to Sanford Simon will fund research to treat rare liver cancer

(Rockefeller University) Dr. Sanford Simon, head of the Laboratory of Cellular Biophysics at Rockefeller University, has been awarded a $600,000 grant by the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation to develop a therapy for fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma. This disease typically occurs in adolescents and young adults who have no history of liver disease, and there is no standard regimen for this often lethal form of cancer.
