Hello again to all of my family and friends. Once again I've decided to shave what little hair God has left me on my head to help combat childhood cancer.

I want to share with everyone that it's been a great year for cancer research in our lab, with several publications including one in the very prestigious journal Science which described a brand new pathway which medulloblastoma (a type of childhood brain cancer) can use to escape the immune system.  We hope that continued research will help us understand how to use this information to fight this disease.

We've all had loved ones that we've lost to this deadly disease and it's never easy especially when it's children that are affected. It's been several years now since my cousin Cody passed away from melanoma. After watching his courageous battle, this is the very least that I can do to honor his memory and the memory of all who have fought this fight. Please join me.

Together, we can make a difference and I know that the day will come when more children and young people can be cured of this disease but this can only be accomplished though research and St. Baldrick's is one of the organizations which is leading the fight.

Please take a moment to donate and help with this outstanding cause. Every little bit helps.

Thanks and God Bless!

Jay

P.S. For those who are curious about what our lab does, take a few minutes to watch this video of my boss, Dr. Alex Huang.
