Building Hope

The Power of Venom

The deathstalker scorpion, the venom of which the Olson lab uses to create
tumor paint, a surgical imaging tool.

Check out this excellent article from the February issue of National Geographic about innovative medical uses for venom! Dr. Olson's tumor paint is included along with countless other fascinating new technologies.

Seven years of Fighting

Seven years ago today, we lost our beloved friend Sydney to brain cancer.

If she were alive today, she would be a freshman in college, no doubt doing amazing things and continuing to be the wonderful person that she was. But because she isn't here with us, we have to keep fighting in her memory to beat brain cancer. We won't stop trying until a cure is found.

Rest in peace, Sydney--we love you!
