Oncology
In some US states, there's less than 1 pediatric oncologist for every 100,000 children. We're building the tools to close that gap, wherever a child lives.
Understanding the Oncology Challenge
Pediatric cancer spans over 100 known types — from leukemia and brain tumors to dozens of rarer conditions, each requiring specialized care. Only 2,270 pediatric oncologists practice in the US today, concentrated in cities and children's hospitals.
"AI has the ability to extend expertise beyond major academic centers. We can bring that decision support to a clinician in a rural geographic location or somewhere where resources are limited."

What is Changing in this Field
A tumor isn't one disease. It's a molecular signature, an image, and a body of research. Bringing it together has usually meant waiting weeks or more. AI trained across imaging, genomics, and clinical knowledge is starting to close that gap.
The Atlas
A disease-precise map of pediatric cancer types: how each one presents, progresses, and differs from the rest. The foundation every tool we build starts from.
What's Ahead
Common cancers draw real investment. We focus on the rare ones too, where families navigate uncharted territory alone.
Patient Story
A child in a small town is diagnosed with a rare sarcoma, one only a handful of hospitals nationwide routinely treat. A clinical trial testing a treatment for exactly her diagnosis is enrolling patients two hours away. Her oncologist has never heard of it; most community doctors never do. By the time her family finds out, it may already be full.
