Our final speaker of today’s #RareWorlshop, Evie from aPODD discusses their model for #DrugRepurposing as a parent-led #charity working in rare paediatric cancers.

At aPODD we believe that many existing drugs have the potential to treat #childhoodcancer. We have two #drugrepurposing projects underway investigating #neuroblastoma and #medulloblastoma. To find kinder and more effective treatments for children. ow.ly/m1xN50y5UTZ
