Scientific Advisory Board

In 2019 we set up our first Scientific Advisory Board to help assess the requests we receive for funding research projects. We are honoured to have exceptional experts in the area of neuroblastoma. With their expertise, we will be able to ensure we fund the most promising meaningful research in line with our mission; developing better, safer and kinder treatments so all children diagnosed with neuroblastoma get the chance to grow up and lead a long and healthy life.
