Stars in the Sea supports glioblastoma research: a commitment of €30,000 for the GLIOTEX project at Paris Brain Institute.
On December 16th, Paris Brain Institute was honoured to host the association Des Étoiles dans la Mer, which since 2019 has been fighting glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain tumour. The day was marked by an exceptional gesture: the awarding of a cheque for €30,000 to the research project GLIOTEX, led by Maïté Verrault, Prof. Id Baih and their team at Paris Brain Institute.
An association committed to research and support for families
Created by volunteers, caregivers, patients and their families, Stars in the Sea works on several fronts:
- Funding Medical Research
- Helping and supporting families
- Raising public awareness
Since its inception, the association has been able to unite a network of mutual aid and solidarity initiatives to advance the fight against glioblastoma.
The GLIOTEX Project: Hope for Brain Tumour Patients
The association’s support has focused on the GLIOTEX project, which opens up promising prospects in the treatment of brain tumours. This research project is based on the use of innovative experimental models based on tumour cells directly from patients.
The objective is twofold:
- To test the efficacy of existing treatments and new molecules, accelerating translational research.
- Reposition drugs already available, thus reducing the time and cost associated with the development of new therapies.
As part of a personalized medicine approach, GLIOTEX aims to develop therapies that are better adapted to the specific biology of each brain cancer. These targeted and innovative approaches give hope in the face of these devastating pathologies.
A collective push for research
The support of Stars in the Sea is a valuable mark of confidence for the research teams of Paris Brain Institute. With this support, Paris Brain Institute can continue its ambitious work and provide new opportunities for patients with glioblastoma.
Thanks to the association Les Étoiles dans la Mer for its commitment.
Brain tumours
A tumour is formed of cells that multiply in an uncontrolled way, taking over the surrounding cells and, to varying degrees, disrupting brain function. A brain tumour can develop in any area of the brain.
