Where the lab sits
The lab spans the spectrum of pediatric cancer research, from our clinical program to our cancer center to the advocacy groups that make our work possible.
Clinical home
Children’s Hospital Colorado
Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders
Children’s Hospital Colorado is a 1.79 million-square-foot, 632-bed facility that serves patients throughout the Rocky Mountain region. It has been named a Top 10 Best Children’s Hospital annually by Parents magazine and Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll by U.S. News & World Report.
The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital Colorado has been ranked consistently among the Top 10 US Pediatric Cancer programs by U.S. News & World Report. The Center houses the region’s only Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Program, the only program for adolescents and young adults with cancer, and the only pediatric Experimental Therapeutics Program. The program routinely draws patients from 12 states and has attracted consultation for clinical trials from patients in 43 states and 19 foreign countries.

Cancer center
University of Colorado Cancer Center
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Children’s Hospital Colorado is part of the University of Colorado–Anschutz Medical Campus, 11.3 million gross square feet of cutting-edge facilities and supportive services. The University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center is Colorado’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and one of only four in the 10-state Rocky Mountain Region, creating a nexus of world-class doctors and researchers focused on discovering and delivering new ways to prevent and treat cancer.
Our approximately 300 members work in labs and hospitals including CU Anschutz, UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center, and also at partner institutions including CU Boulder, CSU Flint Animal Cancer Center, Denver Health, and UCHealth locations across the state.

Funding partner
The Morgan Adams Foundation
Funding children’s cancer research in Colorado
The Morgan Adams Foundation is named for a real person, Morgan, but has since grown to encompass many, many more families whose children have battled cancer. The Morgan Adams Foundation funds kids’ cancer research. They raise awareness of, and educate their communities about, the need for pediatric and young adult specific cancer treatments.
Working with leading researchers and physicians, they fund new and innovative ideas that will improve cancer treatment effectiveness, overall outcomes, survival rates and quality of life while minimizing the devastating side effects current treatments have on children.
Their particular interest is to provide seed and bridge grants for viable investigations not yet ripe enough for total funding by larger organizations. They are also able to partially fund translational studies, experimental therapeutics studies, and/or Phase I and II clinical trials on a case-by-case basis.
