MAXIMA BUTTERFLY

That is why in the Princess Máxima Center for pediatric oncology, we work together with passion, pushing the boundaries to improve survival and quality of life for children with cancer. Now, and in the long term. Because children have their entire lives ahead of them... The overall aim of the Butterfly programme is to train a new generation of talented PhD students in paediatric oncology and to undertake excellent research in one or more of the five research areas: 1) Brain Tumours 2) Hematologic Malignancies 3) Solid Tumours 4) Quality of Live 5) New Technologies. To reach this goal we aim to 1) Increase knowledge across paediatric cancer biology; 2) Enhance international collaborations and European Paediatric Networks; 3) Increase knowledge transfer and collaborations with industry; 4) Translate pre-clinical research to clinical trials... In this way, we offer children today the very best care, and take important steps toward improving survival for the children who are not yet..
