We’re thrilled to announce a new joint grants program with @TheMarkFdn offering awards of up to $500K to help pave the way for chordoma patients to benefit from emerging treatment approaches that target cell surface proteins or peptides presented by MHC molecules on cancer cells. This is a major area of opportunity that builds on the results of several projects we’ve supported in recent years to identify surface targets.
Researchers: the request for proposals will open on Monday, October 26. More info: chordomafoundation.org/resea…
Thank you, @PatrickHwuMD, for your leadership and collaboration!
We need better therapies for #osteosarcoma, and that starts with bringing brilliant minds together. Grateful to @TheMarkFdn and @OSInstitute for convening such an outstanding group of investigators to challenge assumptions, spark new ideas and advance hope for patients who urgently need better treatments.

We’re in CT for the 2026 Aging & Cancer Symposium, hosted by the Waxman Institute at The Mark Foundation (@WaxmanCancer) & @JacksonLab!
40+ attendees are exploring the frontier of aging biology & cancer, with topics ranging from cellular senescence to AI-driven risk prediction. 🔬

Thank you to @OSInstitute and @TheMarkFdn for the invitation this weekend at the IO summit for #osteosarcoma. Tremendous opportunity to identify opportunities for collaboration. I learned so much from you all. @PatrickHwuMD
We've had two thrilling days in Dallas gathering the scientific community for Advancing Immunotherapy for Osteosarcoma, organized with @OSInstitute. The challenges are immense, but so is the potential. Together, we're working toward better treatments for patients who urgently need them.
Great post from AITHYRA on one of our new Endeavor Award teams!

🔬Beating Immunotherapy Resistance
Immunotherapy fails most gastric cancer patients because tumors stop displaying the “flags” immune cells recognize.
@UNC & @MayoClinic scientists are targeting a specific cellular pathway to strip this invisibility cloak & restore immune attack.
