Current Fundraiser

Every year, high school students in GIDAS vote on diseases of their choice, set up projects to raise awareness locally, and raise microgrants funds for research on the chosen diseases. If you are interested in getting funding for your own research, please visit this link.

This year’s focus: Cancer Research

High school students are fundraising for
candidate John Prensner, MD, PhD

It is difficult to get government funding for innovative research due to the lack of supporting data. We provide microgrants so that an innovative researcher can obtain initial data. Your donation will help advance cancer research by providing much needed funding.

Dr. Prensner is a physician-scientist and pediatric hematologist/oncologist specializing in the treatment of children with brain tumors. He is a Principal Investigator of an independent biomedical research laboratory focused on the study of the cancer genome in childhood brain cancers. His research interests focus on the molecular mechanisms and driver genes of brain cancers such as medulloblastoma, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
