RESEARCH UPDATES
Support research to identify effective treatment options and find a cure for Gliomatosis Cerebri is one of the main objectives of the GC Global Community. We also aim for collaboration with physicians and researchers to support international Gliomatosis Cerebri conferences to raise awareness and advance research. Read about updates on ongoing research and projects from partners we help fund or collaborate with.
