THE NONPROFIT

Brain tumors are the most common tumors found in children.. and the most fatal. That’s why families impacted by pediatric brain tumors have come together to fund life-saving research at the Children’s Brain Tumor Project, Weill Cornell Medicine. We created this nonprofit organization with the shared mission to fundraise for the Children’s Brain Tumor Project lab while maintaining control of the strict stewardship of those funds to solely support the research of Dr. Mark Souweidane and Dr. Jeffrey Greenfield at Weill Cornell Medicine.

THE RESEARCH LAB

The Children’s Brain Tumor Project is a research initiative at the Weill Cornell Medical Center, co-directed by Dr. Mark Souweidane and Dr. Jeffrey Greenfield. The Children’s Brain Tumor Project has a single goal: to bring hope to the hundreds of patients and families each year who confront the heartbreaking diagnoses of rare and inoperable pediatric brain tumors. We focus on studying these tumor types because rare and inoperable tumors are most often neglected in the research landscape due to the lack of funding and support that scientists need to find cures.
