The twisted ladder of life
In the lobby of the Children’s GMP, LLC, a massive DNA sculpture stretches from floor to ceiling. At once delicate and imposing, the artwork pays homage to the galaxy of discoveries made possible at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
This issue of Promise celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, or PCGP.
Thanks to that project, scientists and clinicians worldwide are unraveling the twisted ladder of life to solve the mysteries of childhood cancer.
