Snowdome Foundation Research Pillars

Snowdome has a strategic granting process that identifies key pillars to fight blood cancer including:

  • Epigenetics – the chemical reactions that switch on/off genes;
  • Genomics/precision (personalised) medicine – matching the cancer’s mutations to a drug treatment;
  • Immune therapies – boosting the immune system to fight cancers;
  • Monoclonal antibodies – golden bullets that bind onto and kill the cancer cell;
  • Pro-apoptotic agents – to make an immortal cell commit suicide;
  • Targeting the microenvironment – making the cancer cell’s environment hostile to its growth.
