July 2024 Award Winners

BC Cancer’s Dr. Poul Sorensen (pictured) has been awarded with a pediatric Ewing sarcoma research grant from St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

“We have an overwhelming desire to see this transition into clinical trials for kids with Ewing sarcoma,” said Dr. Sorensen. “A clinical trial represents the culmination of Martha’s family’s hopes with this grant, and holds strong potential to improve outcomes for these children.”

Dr. Sorensen was also awarded a Canadian Institutes of Health Research this month. See all award winners for July 2024 below
