The Cure GM1 Foundation is a small nonprofit organization based in Albany, California, focused on advancing research into GM1 gangliosidosis. Its core objective is to fund work toward a cure for GM1 gangliosidosis, a progressive lysosomal storage disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord and is fatal in children. Founded by parents of children affected by GM1, the organization emphasizes directing the majority of its resources to research rather than overhead. A notable recent development is the foundation's collaboration with COMBINEDBrain to create a GM1 biorepository intended to accelerate research and therapy development. This activity positions the group within the rare-disease research landscape as a small nonprofit dedicated to funding studies that could lead to treatments for GM1 gangliosidosis.
