2021: We are grateful for the excellent support.

The Petritsch lab as part of a team with Dr. Kuo, Spunt, Monje, and Sage, received funding from the National Cancer Institute to generate next-generation human cancer models. We are thrilled to contribute cell lines as community resource, work with such an amazing team, and grateful for the funding.

Dr. Petritsch received funding by the National Cancer Institute (U54) to lead the Neuro-Path team with Dr. Hannes Vogel to support the Brain Metastases Research at Stanford. So excited to participate in this large network of outstanding scientists, and thankful for the funding.

Dr. Petritsch and her collaborators Dr. Grant (Stanford) and Dr. Decuzzi (Italian Institute of Technology) received funding from SPARK to commercially develop a microMesh for the locoregional delivery of drugs and treatment of therapy-resistant pediatric brain tumors. We are grateful for the excellent support and looking forward to make an impact for children with brain tumors.
