Elizabeth A. Beierle, M.D. received a grant of $250,000 from Hyundai's Hope of Wheels Program on Sept. 10, 2015. The $250,000 Hyundai Scholar Grant will fund childhood cancer research led by Dr. Beierle, Associate Professor of Pediatric Surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and a general surgeon at Children's. The newly named Hyundai Scholar, Dr. Beierle, will use the funds to develop innovative therapies with the goal of improving outcomes and reducing toxicities in children with neuroblastoma. The event was celebrated at Children's of Alabama with children putting colorful hand prints on the new Hyundai Santa Fe and on the back of Dr. Beierle's coat.
