12. Since we first opened in 1962,
we’ve spent more than half a
century finding cures and
saving children, and our
groundbreaking research has
helped push the
survival rate for
childhood cancer
from 20% in 1962
to more than
80today

13. Our world-
renowned
bioinformatics
researchers have
accelerated
progress in
critical research
and clinical areas.

14. The Pediatric Cancer Genome Project,
launched in 2010, is the largest
investment to date to identify the
genetic origins of childhood cancers
and seek new cures.
Analytical approaches and visualization tools
developed during the project led to the development
of several programs, including St. Jude Cloud.

15. We have also collaborated with Microsoft
and DNAnexus to design St. Jude Cloud,
one of the world’s
largest repositories of
pediatric genomics
data offering a suite of
unique apps for data
curation and analysis
available to anyone.
