If a child’s life was in danger you would do something, wouldn’t you?
The Children’s Brain Tumor Project Weill Cornell Medicine is proud to present this powerful public service announcement (PSA). The PSA, produced and funded by the generosity of DDB Health, is intended to raise awareness of the traumatic outcomes for far too many children diagnosed with brain tumors every year, and demand action by encouraging viewers to donate.
You can do something to help. The generous gifts of our supporters allow our neuroscientists/researchers to continue their important work.

POWERED BY FAMILIES
The project is “powered by families” – donations come from the families, friends, and supporters of the children, adolescents, and young adults diagnosed with these tumors. In the absence of major funding from government agencies or major foundations, the Children’s Brain Tumor Project is supported by those with the most at stake in this battle.
Research News
Peer-reviewed publications validate research findings because they subject the authors scholarly work to a high level of scrutiny from other experts in the field who evaluate whether an article is suitable for publication. The sheer volume of published work from the team at the Children’s Brain Tumor Project is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our lab team.
