Our mission is to stand with the most vulnerable — kids with cancer.
Hearing "your child has cancer" shatters a family's world in a moment.
Hospital days replace school, friends and normal life at home.

We exist to help change what happens next. Your support helps build better pediatric cancer studies, so doctors can make safer decisions and give children more days at home.

What we do

We operate as a US research unit with an international project office. Our investigators work for OncoHelper AI in several countries, and we organize their work in these lines of activity:

1. Pediatric cancer research projects
We design, coordinate and support pediatric cancer research projects that can change how cancer patients are diagnosed, treated and followed.

2. International project office and infrastructure
We act as the project office and infrastructure partner for these studies: connecting clinics and labs, aligning teams across countries, and keeping work on track and compliant.
‍
3. Data and analytics to strengthen every study
We build the data and analytic layer around each project, using robust data capture, modern statistical methods and AI tools where they genuinely improve prediction, monitoring and treatment decisions.
1. Clinical questions and study design
We start from real problems faced by children, families and doctors. Together with clinicians and scientists, we turn important questions into concrete study plans: which patients to include, what data to collect, and how each project can lead to safer, more effective care and a clearer sense of direction for families.
2. Team Assembly and Partnerships
For each project we assemble a focused international team: pediatric oncologists, laboratory scientists, data specialists and partners. We connect sites across countries, clarify roles and timelines, and make it easier for investigators to work with strong research groups abroad without drowning inlogistics.
3. Funding and Resource Mobilization
Good ideas and strong teams need resources. We work with investigators to build clear proposals, realistic budgets and grant strategies for funders and donors, explaining what support is needed and why.This lets researchers focus on their science while we handle funding, reportingand infrastructure.
4. Study Operations and Data Flow
Once a study is funded, we help turn the plan into day to day reality: rolling out protocols, setting up safe data capture and keeping all partners aligned across sites. We watch timelines, data quality and communication so the project keeps moving forward, and families are not left waiting for answers.
5. AI Integration and Outcome Delivery
At the end of each project, we move findings into action. We help turn findings into practical tools for clinicians, clear reports for donors and well documented data and models that feed our pediatric oncology AI system. Every completed study strengthens the next one and builds better options for future children.

Who we are

OncoHelper AI is a US nonprofit that serves as both an American research unit and an international project office for pediatric oncology and translational cancer projects.
We focus on practical studies that can change how children with cancer are diagnosed, treated, and followed in real clinical settings.

Our investigators work directly for OncoHelper AI and are based in several countries, including strong research and laboratory teams in Central Asia. Through formal agreements with leading institutes and cancer centers in the region, our teams have access to modern American research and analytical equipment installed in 2025.

This model allows us to run high quality studies at significantly lower cost, while study protocols, data governance, and quality standards are centrally directed and coordinated by our US nonprofit.

OncoHelper AI Inc. is a US nonprofit founded by veterans with personal experience of cancer, either in their families or in their own lives.

Our founders bring more than thirty years of proven leadership in scientific and engineering projects, coupled with deep motivation to make cancer care more adaptive, smarter and faster.

We bring together seasoned clinicians, active pediatric oncologists and early-career physician-innovators. We give their ideas a clear path into real studies that can change how children with cancer are diagnosed and treated.

We welcome partners who share our mission and commitment.

OncoHelper AI: Neural Target Tracking for Cancer in Motion

AI system that treats cancer as a moving target and time as a first-class variable.
Interceptor AI is in development as a time-aware modeling system that treats cancer as a moving target and uses time as a first-class variable, updating forecasts as new clinical data arrives. The project is an internal, investigator-initiated effort developed by OncoHelper AI and is currently in the architecture and research planning stage. The research draws on established methods from target tracking, sequential decision-making, neural dynamical modeling, and other time-series forecasting approaches. We are raising funding to build, test, and validate the system through measurable milestones. Donations support development, validation, clinician-facing workflow design, and privacy-ready data preparation for reportable outcomes.

Curable Hereditary Anemias in Children

Clinical and genetic cohorts that turn lifelong transfusions into realistic paths to cure.
Many children in high risk regions live with hereditary anemias that could be cured, but in practice receive only lifelong transfusions. This project is in development to build pediatric clinical and genetic cohorts that identify children with hereditary anemias who could realistically move from lifelong transfusions to curative options such as risk adapted bone marrow transplantation, with a future pathway to gene therapy. The work is being developed with established research and clinical partners in several countries, coordinated by OncoHelper AI. Donations fund cohort building, genetics and clinical characterization, pathway design, and measurable outcomes reporting.

Risk-Adaptive Therapy for Pediatric Oncology

AI-supported clinical decisions for safer, more personalized pediatric oncology care.
Every child responds to cancer therapy differently. Yet today, most treatment decisions still follow standardized pathways that cannot fully capture individual risks. This project is in development as an AI-supported clinical decision approach that helps pediatric oncologists tailor therapy intensity to each child over time, reducing toxicity while protecting cure rates. It is being developed with partner institutes and clinical teams in multiple countries, coordinated by OncoHelper AI, to ensure real clinic relevance. Donations fund cohort readiness, model development, validation, and clinician-oriented implementation milestones.
Needed Funding:
$340,000 for 3 years

Frequently asked questions

How is my donation used?
Your donation supports pediatric cancer research projects and the core infrastructure they require. We use funds for practical work such as designing and running studies, building secure data systems, and analysing results so they can change how children with cancer are diagnosed and treated. A small part covers essential administration and compliance to keep these projects safe and accountable, but overhead is kept modest and never dominates our budget. Every project we support must have a clear benefit for children with cancer, even when its findings also help improve care for adults.
Do you sell grant-writing services?
No. OncoHelper AI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on building and running oncology research projects. We sometimes help our research partners prepare grant proposals for the projects we jointly lead, but we do not offer stand-alone, commercial grant-writing services. Donations you make support research and shared infrastructure, not a consulting business.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes. OncoHelper AI is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States. Donations from US taxpayers are generally tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you will receive an email receipt for your records.
Can I direct my gift to a specific project?
By default, gifts go into our general fund so we can support the most urgent pediatric oncology projects and shared infrastructure. If you would like your gift to support a specific project, please check “Write us a comment” on the donation form and mention the project name; we will do our best to apply your gift accordingly.
Will I receive updates or a report?
Yes. For projects supported by your donations we send short progress updates and, once key milestones are completed, a simple summary of what was achieved and how funds were used.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. All donations are processed via DonorBox and Stripe using industry-standard encryption and security practices. We do not store your full card details on our servers.
