It is equally successful in the selection of scientific projects it can support. Cancer diseases in children are certainly more rare, but a tragedy much more intense than in adults. Accordingly, since the beginning of cancer research, this has encouraged top researchers to find solutions and these strategies have already known a great success. Research on childhood cancer mobilized the greatest experts and the knowledge gained has also benefitted adult medicine. The two flagship projects of the paediatric haematology oncology platform in the Geneva University Hospital are: The cancer genetics project on the genetics of a particularly vicious tumour, neuroblastoma, where researchers are trying to find the driver of abnormal growth. The pharmacogenomics project that will contribute to a better understanding of the fate of anticancer drugs in children&#8217;s bodies with the aim to better target the disease by reducing the toxicity and side effects. To this end, the Scientific Committee must vouch for the quality of research in order to ensure to all those who contribute so generously that their donations are put to the best use.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Members<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Professor Sylvain Baruchel <\/strong><em>Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada.
