KidImmune, – immunological mechanisms in pediatric cancer

We are happy and a bit proud that we have received grants from the Cancer Society’s Pioneer program, the Childhood Cancer Society and now a generous grant from the Trond Mohn Foundation to validate our prelimiary findings together with the Centre for Translational Epidemiology (TRACE) at UiB.

Researcher, dr. Anastassia Serguienko made the initial discovery that now has developed into a very exciting project, and even attracted considerable funding without published data. She is now, together with postdoc Jeetesh Sharma, funded and working full time on the many questions remaining.

We now got a new 3-year grant for Anastassia from the Pediatric Cancer Association.

Since this project is potentially ground-breaking, we have worked on it quietly for several years. Now we are, for the first time presenting our data and hypothesis publicly, in the new discovery session at the international pediatric conference in Amsterdam 21/10-25 (SIOP 2025).
