Mission: Cancer Education and Research Institute® (CERI) is the first and only simplified and multi-language global cancer nonprofit organization. It acts as a hub to integrate all non-treatment aspects of the challenge that is cancer. It connects all the key constituents in the cancer community – patients, medical professionals, research institutions, academia, and pharmaceutical companies through its uniquely designed programs. The mission of Cancer Education and Research Institute® (CERI), formerly known as Cancer Research Simplified, is to:1) make cancer and cancer research understandable for everyone; 2) bridge the gap between cancer professionals and cancer patients; 3) provide cancer research scholarships for promising high school students worldwide, career guidance, and mentorship; and 4) conduct in-house innovative cancer research and directly translate it to the public. CERI acts as a hub to integrate all non-treatment aspects of the challenge that is cancer. It connects all the key constituents in the cancer community – patients, medical professionals, research institutions, academia, and pharmaceutical companies through its uniquely designed programs. CERI's vision is to create a world where cancer patients are treated with high quality care regardless of their cultural, ethnic, socioeconomic, and linguistic differences, and a world that is cancer free.

Results: Our educational programs are being followed by more than 2.6 million people around the globe from 192 countries and all 50 States in the United States. In recognition of CERI's outstanding contribution to non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention and control worldwide, CERI received the United Nations Interagency Task Force (UNIATF) Award 2019.So far, CERI has successfully approached many sponsors for support and has received a grant from Genentech for our unique cancer education approach in our program. Through this grant and the generous in-kind support from our sponsors, we were able to complete 4 cancer-specific lectures and symposiums in Middlesex and Norfolk counties in Massachusetts, and 2 general cancer lectures in Istanbul, Turkey for the general public and in a school for 90+ middle school students. To date, our CERI Personalized Patient Program™ has helped many cancer patients to become cancer-free, worldwide, and these patients/survivors are still free of cancer. In fact, 100% of all our completed cases are cancer-free. Within this program, CERI has collaborated with hospitals including Massachusetts Genera Hospital (MGH), Mass Eye and Ear, University of Düsseldorf in Germany, and Dokuz Eylül University in Turkey. Our program is a unique approach and a great success. Our goal is to expand the CERI Personalized Patient Program™ by 1) solidifying CERI's partnerships with prominent hospitals around the globe, and 2) raise funds to expand this program for many more patients worldwide. We further look to build our own CERI Cancer Research Laboratory to conduct in-house cancer immunotherapy and translate it directly to the public. For this, we found a suitable laboratory space in Cambridge, MA, however, necessary funds to secure this spot is mandatory. Overall, the foundation of the CERI Cancer Research Laboratory requires $1 million. Fund raising for both projects are ongoing.
