We are a nonprofit biotech lab on a mission to make childhood cancer universally survivable. Every year, the FDA approves on average 12 drugs to treat adult cancer, but has only approved 6 drugs to treat childhood cancer since 1978. We believe it’s time to do better.

The “Early Days” of cc-TDI
My name is Teagan Settelmeyer and I am a medical student at OHSU. I have also been a founding member of cc-TDI. I was asked for some thoughts about the cc-TDI journey, so here we go! Curing childhood cancer for 1 in 5 children with the most challenging diagnoses hasn’t been easy historically — thinking about it, only 8 drugs have earned FDA approved since 1978. Similarly, our startup period at cc-TDI during 2015 was not easy. I was dedicated to my work and yet frequently failed. No problem seemed to have a simple solution.

A dedicated research team
Our research team is exploring and testing state-of-the-art treatment options for the most urgent issues facing children with cancer.
Working in our own freestanding research institution allows us to act swiftly and nimbly to achieve results—bringing cost control, speed, purpose, and focus to translate effective treatments into the clinic. To get there, we perform basic science and translational research in our industrial modern lab site (a paint factory remodeled by Nike as an off-site creative space), adjacent to the Silicon Forest in Oregon.
