Penn State College of Medicine shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Hyundai Hope on Wheels helped advance pediatric cancer research at Penn State College of Medicine with a $400,000 Scholar Hope Grant to Giselle Sholler, MD, division chief of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, today.
Dr. Sholler has dedicated more than two decades to improving outcomes for children with neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. Her research has led to groundbreaking clinical trials, including the development of DFMO (now approved by the FDA), a drug that dramatically reduces relapse rates and gives children a chance at a brighter future.
The grant was presented alongside a handprint ceremony, where patients receiving treatment for pediatric cancer added their painted handprints to a white Hyundai vehicle — a powerful symbol of hope and solidarity in the fight against childhood cancer.
Since 2011, Penn State Health Children’s Hospital and Penn State College of Medicine have received more than $3 million in support from Hyundai Hope On Wheels, fueling life-changing research and care for children and families.”
Giselle Sholler, Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology/BMT at Penn State Health, shared a post by Penn State College of Medicine, adding:
“What a great day! So thankful to the Hyundai Hope on Wheels team for joining us today and supporting our research to bring hope to more children like Riley! We were inspired by Gregory Rejniak as he shared their journey and motivated to do more. We are grateful for this grant to help our PhD student Tarlan Arjmandi as she moves her promising research moves closer to the clinic.”
