About this Class
Dr. Church's clinical and research work focus on bringing molecular testing to the clinical care of children with cancer. Through institutional projects (the Profile study, GAIN consortium study) she has profiled thousands of children's tumors and has used these results to make real-time impacts on their diagnoses and treatments. She is involved in national initiatives to improve the quality and access to molecular testing for children with cancer, including the NCI-funded Count Me In Study (Dana Farber, Broad Institute), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, NIH, and the Children's Oncology Group.
