The research

The programs that we cofinance

We select the programs that we cofinance with the help of the researchers and notably the ITCC* with whom we signed a partnership in 2012. Our strategy is to finance the programs that are the most innovating, with the highest success factor and that will benefit the largest number of children.

* Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer

BETTER UNDERSTAND

It means finding the “weakness” of the tumor in order to target the best possible treatment, by analyzing the complete sequencing of tumors or leukemia. It also consists in analyzing all the available data in order to better understand childhood cancer.

Words that move us

“The Imagine for Margo association has helped place childhood cancer on the European agenda. Thanks to Imagine for Margo, we are gaining time and we are implementing tests that would not have started for lack of funding.”

Professor Gilles VASSAL, Director of Research at Gustave Roussy

“I would like to thank you for bringing us together again and again for this cause and to remind us what we are striving for. Because at the end, it's the patients that we want to help and in this sense your support is very helpful."

Dr. Stefan Pfister, Chair of the Biology Committee at ITCC

“Imagine for Margo provides huge support in backing our projects financially, in a significant and constant manner. This allows us to move forward faster in our research”

Birgit Geoerger, researcher at Gustave Roussy, director of the MAPPYACTS and ESMART programs

“The work that the association does to bring together, at the same time, researchers, clinicians, laboratories, pharmaceuticals, the families, is really something extremely important. The financial help is of course very important, but what Imagine for Margo brings goes beyond that.”

Gudrun Schleiermacher, researcher at the Curie Institute, director of the MICCHADO program
