Dept. of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology | MD, PhD | Minneapolis, MN
Dr. Tolar’s research focuses on finding new ways of treating children with lethal diseases – cancer, inborn errors of metabolism, and devastating genetic disorders – using stem cell transplantation. He is also looking for safer and more effective methods of repairing and using a patient’s own cells in diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa, mucopolysaccharidosis type I (Hurler syndrome), Fanconi anemia, and dyskeratosis congenita.

News & Events
In 1989, Lynn and David Frohnmayer founded the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund (FARF), determined and desperate to find a cure for their three daughters diagnosed with Fanconi anemia (FA). Since then, their vision has grown into a vibrant community of FA families, researchers, clinicians, donors, fundraisers, staff, and volunteers, all dedicated to improving outcomes for people with FA.
Research is the answer to one day making FA a treatable, manageable disease. Here, you'll discover the most recent strides in FA research and activities funded by FCF. Every quarter, we'll bring you updates on newly funded grants, ongoing projects, and significant milestones.
