Glanzmann's Research Foundation

Glanzmann's Research Foundation (GRF) was established in 2001 after discovering a researcher who is actively pursuing a cure for GT. The idea was to promote awareness about Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia and to aid in research efforts being made to correct this disorder. GRF is recognized by the IRS as a non-profit, 501-C3 organization, governed by a board of directors.

Dr. David Wilcox, a professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin has been the benefactor of previous contributions from the GRF due to the fact that he has had some amazing success in his laboratory. He has corrected GT in human cells in the lab environment. It is vital that his research receive the funding required in order to take the success he’s achieved in the lab and apply it to people in the GT population. The money raised by the Glanzmann’s Research Foundation goes directly towards the advancement of the research being done to cure GT.

Dr. Wilcox has shown us how donations from the GRF have been applied to his previous research and demonstrated where contributions from the GRF will continue be used in the advancement of his research.

With our continued support, Dr. Wilcox expects to be able to cure GT within the next 10 to 15 years. Imagine being able to participate in advancing medical science so far that GT becomes a footnote in history alongside polio, scurvy, small pox and all the other diseases and disorders we no longer live in fear of.
