They fund lots of cancer research. Now all CDMRP-related websites seem to be gone, as below. Any ideas?

As a hematologist, it's exciting and incredible to see someone do well enough after an allogeneic BMT for AML to resume being an airline pilot. The field has come a long way.

Banning research areas seems counterproductive. I need to know more, but it seems if there will be work in this area, there can also be work on how to counteract any problems.
