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.
