Our Crowdfunding Groups
Support Cancer Research and Save Lives
ASU's talented researchers have pushed the frontiers of knowledge and discovery to make major advancements in cancer research. With your support, Arizona State University can continue to pioneer cancer research to develop real-world solutions - benefitting our community, nation, and world.
Biodesign Cancer Research: Whether it's designing a DNA nano-robot to seek and destroy cancer, or a diagnostic that pinpoints pancreatic cancer, or targeting exact cells for more effective treatment, researchers at the Biodesign Institute are hitting cancer from nearly every angle. More than half a million Americans die from cancer each year - your generosity will support the world-class Biodesign researchers who are determined to help us all beat the odds.
Evolution and Cancer Lab: Carlo Marley and his research team apply evolutionary and ecological theory to answer the following questions: "How can we slow the progression of unhealthy tissue? What can we do to prevent resistance? With your support, you can help ASU's answer these important questions about cancer.
Studying the Biochemical & Biophysical Influences of Fibroblasts on Cancer: Through your support, you can help Danh Truong, a SBHSE graduate student working under the supervision of Assistant Professor Mehdi Nikkhah, who have developed a physiologically relevant 3-D breast tumor model on a micro-engineered chip. They have used this chip to investigate breast cancer invasion under influences of biomolecules and anti-cancer drugs. With your support, you can provide the materials necessary to potentially replace the use of animals in cancer drug testing.
Discovering Genes that Collaborate with Mutant TP53 to Drive Breast Cancer Aggressiveness: Joshua LaBaer and Karen Anderson are medical oncologists and research scientists who focus on improving breast cancer survival rates by discovering new methods for early detection. Through their increasing understanding of the role of genomics, they are working to help reduce the risks of relapse and slow the progression of advanced cancers.
