Read about our GBM Bill of Rights and OBB advocacy campaigns to improve treatment and care of people with GBM. Create change with us
In June 2017 OurBrainBank’s founder Jessica Morris attended the New York launch of the Biden Cancer Initiative, the philanthropic scheme set up by Joe and Jill Biden in honour of Joe’s son Beau who had died of GBM. She talked about OBB’s mission to move GBM from terminal to treatable, powered by patients. “We need a sense of urgency!” she told him.

We believe that the key to future personalised GBM treatments – and longer, quality life expectancy – lies in the genomic sequencing of patients’ tumors. We will strive for EVERY GBM patient to be offered the chance to have samples of their tumor taken and sent for sequencing.
The National Brain Tumor Society has good tips on what to expect when having brain surgery, including ideas for care partners. People who receive a glioblastoma diagnosis are usually completely shocked and not prepared, this information may help.
Prof. Richard Scolyer is an Australian pathologist who’s bravely sharing his GBM journey
The Cancer Moonshot is focused on increased investment, data collaboration, quality of life for people with cancer, including brain tumors like glioblastoma, and more.
OurBrainBank welcomes Kelli Duprey as new Executive Director.
