Congratulations to Dr. Catrina Loucks!
Dr. Loucks and her team are the recipients of a Canadian Cancer Society 2023 Challenge Grant (CHA-24) for their project, “Better pain management for children with cancer.”
This project will analyze genetic patterns that may influence how children with cancer respond to pain medication. DNA from samples donated by children with cancer and their families will be compared to the data of children who did and did not experience painful side effects from their cancer treatments.
