Dr. Yang Li Receives the New Investigator Grant

Three-Year Funding from the ChadTough Foundation to Accelerate DIPG and DMG Research and Potential Treatments

Congratulations to Yang Li, PhD, who was recently awarded the New Investigator Grant from the ChadTough Foundation!

This grant provides three years of funding to support early-career researchers focusing on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). This important initiative aims to broaden the research base by bringing fresh talent and innovative perspectives into the fight against these aggressive pediatric brain tumors.

Dr. Li plans to use this grant to advance hypothesis-driven research projects that could pave the way for new understandings and potential treatments for DIPG and DMG. By exploring the molecular and epigenetic causes of these devastating diseases, his work could lead to major advances in medical research.

We are immensely proud of Dr. Li and his relentless dedication to advancing our knowledge and treatment options for pediatric brain tumors. His efforts are invaluable to our community and the ongoing fight against these diseases
