Founded in 1984, the Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program, a division of the T.J. Martell Foundation, supports research in children's cancer, leukemia, and AIDS at five dedicated laboratories and Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. To date, Bogart has helped to raise over $190 million towards the treatment and cure of these terrible diseases.
Bogart researchers are continuously making landmark discoveries in many fields:
* In Gene Therapy, Bogart Laboratories have recently performed the first trials on children with HIV infection, showing feasibility and safety. A "second generation" trial is now underway.
* In Developmental Therapeutics, resedarchers have proven that a vitamin A-like drug is able to kill cancer cells and have completed initial testing of an oral form for children.
* In Molecular Biology, the survival rate for neuroblastoma, one of the most deadly childhood cancers, has been raised from 16% to 55%.
