A law firm based in Metairie, Louisiana, Nielsen & Treas, LLC, has represented clients in insurance, civil, and constitutional matters for the past 30 years. The attorneys at Nielsen & Treas, LLC, maintain a commitment to supporting charitable organizations, including the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
In its work to cure childhood cancer, St. Jude has teamed up with Washington University in St. Louis on the St. Jude-Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project. Hailed as one of the most ambitious efforts to date in charting new paths to a cure, the project is tasked with comparing the DNA from cancerous and normal cells in over 800 patients.
This painstaking process helps researchers isolate the genetic factors that contribute to the most aggressive pediatric cancers. To further the field of cancer research, the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project is publishing all of its raw sequencing results, as well as data analysis and visualization tools, for free use by other cancer-research organizations.
