The International Society of Paediatric Oncology, European Neuroblastoma (SIOPEN), is the grouping of neuroblastoma clinicians from Europe and other affiliated countries.

Neuroblastoma UK announces the opening of its 2018 research grant round. Applications are invited for UK or Republic of Ireland (ROI) led research that will benefit children with neuroblastoma.

After working with the great team at Smile with Siddy supporting research projects together, we are pleased to announce they are joining us at Neuroblastoma UK.

Formalising our collaboration means that we combine our respective strengths and shared belief of driving forward research. We are also delighted that Flora Cahill, Chair of Smile with Siddy, will join Neuroblastoma UK as one of our trustees. Flora brings a wealth of fundraising expertise and driving awareness of neuroblastoma to enable us to continue fund ground breaking research
