The Washington Research Foundation (WRF) has granted $6 million to a new initiative aimed at advancing late-stage preclinical development and first-in-human human clinical trials of novel therapeutics. The foundation awarded $2 million to David Rawlings , MD, director of the Center for Immunity and Immunotherapies at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, for his work developing a treatment for a genetic disorder called X-linked agammaglobulinemia. Fred Hutch Cancer Center’s Soheil Meshinchi, MD, PhD, an attending physician at Children’s, will use his $2 million WRF grant to develop a treatment for osteosarcoma, paving the way for future pediatric clinical studies at Children’s. Their teams are leveraging advanced gene and cell therapy techniques to create new treatments in critical areas of healthcare. Learn more: bit.ly/3YB4joF

Thank you to the Alpha Martial Arts community for kicking childhood cancer to the curb! 54 students and staff completed 1,000 kicks to raise more than $6,000 during the 17th Annual Kick-a-Thon. Their energy is inspired by giving back in memory of fellow AMA students, Mr. Tyler and Henry who lost their battles with cancer.
