UC Santa Cruz Treehouse Childhood Cancer Initiative

The Treehouse Childhood Cancer Initiative is a champion for open data sharing, ensuring that discoveries move swiftly from analysis to the clinic. Through this approach, it contributes to CBTN’s vision of accelerating precision medicine and expanding treatment options for children with cancer. Treehouse also harnesses large-scale genomic data from both pediatric and adult cancers to identify potential treatments tailored to each child’s tumor. By analyzing across vast datasets, researchers can pinpoint when existing drugs may be effective for a specific patient.
