Children Tumors Research

Our commitment

The mission of Mia Neri Foundation Onlus is to support research aimed at discovering cures for children’s tumors, prevention and information, involving children and young people in raising awareness and understanding of suffering and the value of life.

The funds raised are allocated according to the indications of a scientific committee made up of experts of proven competence.

Collaboration agreement between the Mia Neri Foundation Onlus Association and the Regina Elena National Cancer Institute

Prof. Gennaro Ciliberto, Scientific Director of the Institute of the Regina Elena National Cancer Institute and Prof. Giovanni Neri, President of the Mia Neri Foundation Association (in the photo) have signed a collaboration agreement with the aim of strengthening the commitment of the Association in research for the discovery of new treatments against children’s tumors.

Help us support research in the field of pediatric oncology.
