13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. 🙏🏻 – at Kechi, KS

The @gatesfoundation stumbled on a big financial win with Anacor Pharmaceuticals, thanks to a soaring share price as the company’s drugs made progress, and the foundation sold 99% of its stake for $86.7 million in November 2015, 17 times its initial 2013 investment of $5 million

We're in London today @findacure_fdn's Drug Repurposing for Rare Diseases event! Will we see you here?
Join us on stand or listen to our CMO Anthony Hall's talk (14:20) to discover how #AI and #ML tech is speeding up #drugrepo for #rarediseases.
Children around the world do not have equal access to cancer treatment and many children are living in unnecessary pain.
At aPODD we are focused on using #drugrepurposing to identify new treatments.

Children don't benefit from the advances in adult cancer treatments. #Childhoodcancer is still the biggest killer of children aged between 1-14. We need to do things differently if children are going to gain access to new treatments.

#WorldCancerDay
At aPODD we believe that many existing drugs have the potential to treat #childhoodcancer. We have two #drugrepurposing projects underway investigating #neuroblastoma and #medulloblastoma. To find kinder and more effective treatments for children.
