We are thrilled to announce the opening of the Rokita Lab at Children’s National within the Brain Tumor Institute (BTI) and Center for Cancer and Immunology Research (CCIR)! Situated in a leading pediatric institution, our lab is equipped with cutting-edge technology and resources, fostering a collaborative environment for groundbreaking discoveries. We’re excited to accelerate our research and expand our efforts to improve outcomes for children with brain cancer.
Highlights
Open Science Approach
We are passionate about unlocking new insights into pediatric brain tumors and advancing precision medicine. We investigate the genetic factors that predispose children to these cancers, alongside studying the molecular drivers of tumor growth and progression.
Our Projects
Committed to collaboration, we actively develop open-source tools and data resources that empower the broader scientific community in the fight against pediatric cancer.
Our Team
We are deeply committed to fostering the next generation of scientific leaders through comprehensive training and mentorship. We believe that diversity drives innovation, and we actively promote an inclusive and supportive team culture where individuals from all backgrounds feel valued and empowered to contribute. Together, we strive to create a future where every voice is heard, and all researchers have the opportunity to make an impact. (Image designed with www.freepik.com).
