CCDI Molecular Characterization Initiative Infographic

The Molecular Characterization Initiative (MCI) offers an analysis of the DNA and RNA of childhood cancer tumors, with results given to participants and their doctors. Results will help plan treatment and data will be shared with researchers to help develop childhood cancer treatments.

An arrow points from a child with a broken double helix to a computer monitor showing data. One arrow points from the monitor to different colored medicine bottles. Another arrow points to a broken double helix, computer servers, and children, each with chevrons instead of broken double helixes.
