TGen opens DIPG tissue donation portal to accelerate research

(The Translational Genomics Research Institute) A tissue donation portal opened today at TGen, which will advance research towards new treatments for an aggressive brain cancer that mostly strikes young children. This new portal will accelerate the ability of families of children with DIPG -- or Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma -- to help TGen build a tissue bank that will aid researchers in their investigations of this rare and currently incurable disease that strikes about 350 children in the US each year.
