In a collaborative effort, CFM Indosuez Wealth Management and Crédit Agricole CIB have donated over €51,000 to fund vital research into pediatric brain cancer.

The donation will help the Monaco Scientific Center and its team, led by Dr. Vincent Picco, to develop new and safer treatments for children with brain tumors.

This generous donation was made possible through a unique finance initiative that attracted support from investors who care about health and responsible investing.

By working together, CFM Indosuez and Crédit Agricole CIB are committed to improving vulnerable children’s health.

Why This Research Matters

Pediatric brain tumors are one of the deadliest forms of cancer in children, and current treatments often come with serious side effects.

The donation will enable Dr. Picco’s team to explore the causes of these tumors and find better, less harmful therapies.

“CFM Indosuez, the Flavien Foundation, and the Monaco Scientific Center are all working together to help children who need it the most,” said Mathieu Ferragut, CEO of CFM Indosuez.

“This donation is a part of our ongoing efforts to support important medical research that could change lives.”

An Innovative Approach to Cancer Research

What makes this research unique is the use of an unlikely model: the sea anemone, a simple marine organism with genetic traits similar to humans.

In partnership with Dr. Eric Röttinger from the Cancer and Aging Research Institute in Nice, the research team studies Nematostella vectensis (sea anemone) to understand better how pediatric brain tumors develop.

This model allows researchers to study the genetic changes that cause brain tumors in children and to find new ways to target these cancers early, leading to treatments that are more effective and less toxic.

A Commitment to Health and Innovation

This donation is part of CFM Indosuez and Crédit Agricole CIB’s mission to combine financial innovation with social responsibility.

Leaders in green and sustainable finance focus on investing in health-related projects that can positively impact society.

“We are not just supporting research—we are investing in a better future for children and medical science,” said a representative from Crédit Agricole CIB.

Their contribution helps push forward life-saving work that could transform how pediatric brain cancers are treated.

Looking Ahead: New Hope for Children

Dr. Picco’s team is working tirelessly to find better treatments for children with brain tumors.

Their research into these cancers’ genetic causes could lead to safer and more targeted breakthrough therapies.

With the support of financial institutions like CFM Indosuez and Crédit Agricole CIB, this vital research will continue to make strides toward saving lives.

Conclusion

The €51,000 donation from CFM Indosuez Wealth Management and Crédit Agricole CIB will be critical in advancing research into pediatric brain cancer.

By supporting the efforts of the Monaco Scientific Center, this partnership brings hope to children and families facing the devastating effects of cancer.

As financial institutions continue to back meaningful causes, collaborations like this will help pave the way for better healthcare and improved treatments for children worldwide.

Trivia

Did you know? Pediatric brain tumors make up nearly 25% of all childhood cancers, making research into new treatments crucial for improving survival rates.
