About the Children’s Brain Tumor Project Foundation
The Children’s Brain Tumor Project Foundation supports the research of world-renowned neurosurgeons Dr. Mark Souweidane and Dr. Jeffrey Greenfield at Weill Cornell Medicine. 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, sometimes inoperable, and often incurable pediatric brain tumors. We focus on the deadliest tumors because they are most often neglected in the research landscape due to the lack of funding and support that research scientists need to find cures.
