2nd International Gliomatosis Cerebri Working Group
The working group for the second Gliomatosis Cerebri International Conference was composed of known neuro-oncologists and neuroscientist tasked as representatives by their respective institution with regards to Gliomatosis Cerebri research.
Remarkable participants of the conference are members of families who have lost a loved one because of the Gliomatosis Cerebri disease. Most of them represent foundations that were established mostly in honor of a lost family member. These families are part of the organization of global GC conference as they have pledged their commitment to be advocates of GC awareness as well as in financing GC researches.
