Project Every Day Counts

Project Every Day Counts was launched with a $50,000 donation in collaboration with Gray for Glioblastoma Society to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The project honors Josh Wexler and the Wexler Family and their dedication to furthering GBM research.

 

 

About Project Every Day Counts

Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children.

The goal for project Every Day Counts is to offer a new avenue of hope for children with relapsed gliomas. The fully funded research study, led by Dr. Shahab Asgharzadeh and his team at CHLA, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of CTSR-enabled CAR-T cells against high-grade glioma cell lines and in immunodeficient mice with human GBM tumors.

We are thrilled to support this research project, also known as “Evaluation of a Novel Cellular Therapy for Children and Young Adolescents with High-Grade Glioma/GBM Brain Tumors.”

Project Build On
Project Build On

Project Build On, a research initiative underway at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, explores strategic ways to target metabolic weaknesses of glioblastoma. Through innovative drug combinations, researchers aim to block key pathways that fuel cancer growth, offering new hope for patients with this aggressive disease.

Project Rocket
Project Rocket

Marking the GBMRO'S first funded research project of 2025, Project Rocket, formally known as Characterizing Glioblastoma Progression, Pseudoprogression, and Radiation Necrosis with Bedside Ultrasound Using Sonolucent Cranial Implants, led by Dr. Randy S. D’Amico, aims to identify key ultrasound markers that reveal whether the tumor is growing, healing, or experiencing other changes.

Project Garcia
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.

Project Nate Roston
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 Rush
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 Liam
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.
