Colleen's Dream Foundation funds ovarian cancer clinical trial

(The Translational Genomics Research Institute) Colleen's Dream Foundation, a Scottsdale-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting ovarian cancer research, recently awarded Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) $450,000 to fund a clinical trial for a newly developed ovarian cancer drug treatment. TGen, based in Phoenix, alongside an international team of collaborators, discovered a mutation in a gene known as SMARCA4, which drives a specific type of extremely aggressive ovarian cancer known as Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary, Hypercalcemic Type (SCCOHT).
