Congressman Cohen Announces $465,506 Cancer Research Grant to St. Jude

WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today announced that St. Jude Children's Research Hospital will receive a grant of $465,506 from the National Cancer Institute to study epigenetic reprogramming of T cell exhaustion to enhance tumor immunotherapy.

Congressman Cohen made the following statement:

"I am pleased to see this investment in cancer research at our premiere children's medical center, but I remain concerned with the Trump Administration's apparent decision to abandon much of the federal support for life-saving medical research. I commend St. Jude researchers for their outstanding work and hope it will continue to be robustly underwritten by our National Institutes of Health."
