Our Cutting-Edge Projects to Help Find a Cure for Glioblastoma

The Glioblastoma Research Organization (GBMRO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization raising awareness and funds for cutting-edge research to find a cure for Glioblastoma, a rare malignant, fast-growing tumor affecting the brain or spine. The GBMRO was established in 2018 and, to date, has provided support to doctors and researchers through eight fully funded projects, donating over $500,000 in the last few years.

The GBMRO itself does not conduct research, however funds doctors and researchers that do so.

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 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.

The Warrior Wall.

 

The stories driving our research-funding mission.

The Warrior Wall by the Glioblastoma Research Organization was created to honor all Glioblastoma Warriors - throughout all stages of their journey. The Warrior Wall was designed to not only commemorate the lives of those lost to Glioblastoma, but to empower and give strength to those currently receiving treatment, those monitoring symptoms, and those in remission - to show that we are never alone in this process.
