#GBMResearch #GBMRO
We've provided support to doctors and researchers globally, raising over $1,200,000 for glioblastoma research projects.
Investing in Glioblastoma-specific research
Committing funds for research to help find a cure.
The organization was established in 2018 and, to date, has provided support to doctors and researchers around the world through eight fully funded projects, donating over $425,000+ since its inception.
The Glioblastoma Research Organization itself does not engage in medical research, however it funds doctors and institutions that do so.
The stories driving our research-funding mission.
Going Global
The Glioblastoma Research Organization’s vision is to advance global awareness of this aggressive and fast-growing brain cancer and to raise funds to find a cure. GBMRO partners with world-renowned cancer centers across the U.S. and Europe to support the research development of treatments and innovative therapies for Glioblastoma.
Having an international network enables us to connect with leaders working in the field of neuro-oncology. By sharing major research developments online, the organization’s social media channels have become hubs for patients and their families to connect regarding their shared experiences and to spread hope.
Fundraise
We need your help to raise awareness and funds for Glioblastoma research. Create your own fundraiser today!
There are several ways to fundraise for the Glioblastoma Research Organization - from creating a birthday fundraiser, to turning your favorite activity, such as running or biking, into a fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for GBM. Additionally, you can honor a Glioblastoma Warrior that has passed away by coming together and supporting Glioblastoma research in their name. Become a fundraiser and make a difference in the fight against GBM.
Our Projects
-
Project Liam
Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Of all the pediatric brain tumors, high-grade gliomas (HGG) remain the greatest challenge, with few treatment options available and a five-year survival rate of only 10-30 percent. A potential alternative to conventional treatments is to utilize a patient’s own immune system to attack tumor cells—immunotherapy.

The Lee Project
Funded by the Glioblastoma Research Organization, the laboratory of Dr. Steven Millward at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched The Lee Project, which focuses on the directed evolution of vectors for treating GBM.
-
Project Rush
The Glioblastoma Research Organization's Project Rush is in collaboration with Lenox Hill Hospital’s Department of Neurosurgery’s Brain Tumor Center in New York City. Project Rush was inspired by the passing of Neil Peart a Canadian-American musician, best known as the drummer and lyricist of the rock band, Rush.
-
Project Nate Roston
The median age for diagnosis of Glioblastoma is 65, with patient prognosis known to decline with increased age. Christopher Hine, Ph.D., a researcher in the Department of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Sciences at Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, has a theory that could explain why.
-
Project Garcia
Project Garcia marks GBMRO’s fourth fully funded Glioblastoma research project and the first in collaboration with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami, Florida. The project includes novel research that uniquely applies a multiparametric intraoperative strategy to guide tumor resection and identify infiltrating tumor cells responsible for tumor recurrence.
