Hello all thank you so much for your patience!

Over the past month we have been quite busy. While our academic partners are on holiday break, we have still gone ahead and moved forward.

All donated funds were placed into a seperate account so expenditures related to the project can be properly accounted for.

An electronic Notebook is now established on the experiment site, and we hope to be posting soon.

The Institute now has someone dedicated to this particular project, which is awesome news! We will begin to add to the RNA Introduction section of the Results section of the experiment.com project report site soon. See:

https://experiment.com/projects/targeting-the-rest-of-your-genome-to-detect-glioblastoma/results


Finally, just to followup with the September 30th note, there is information on how to fund future projects for the Institute

Here we are supporting brain cancer awareness by hosting a number of virtual walks in cities across the United States, check it out!

Thank you again


Stay tuned!

About This Project

The treatments available for glioblastoma multiform (GBM) patients provide a minimal survival benefit, and novel methodologies to detect and treat GBM are needed. This project focuses on a gene product called noncoding RNA, a molecule that regulates the expression of tumor-causing genes at the RNA level. The Institute identified novel RNA transcripts detectable in human cancer. We will determine the consequences when cells lose these transcripts and will develop noncoding RNA biomarkers for GBM.

Blast off!
