What we aim to solve
The Beljanski Foundation is dedicated to funding research for natural, non-toxic answers to cancer by continuing the work of accomplished French molecular biologist, Dr. Mirko Beljanski. For over 40 years, Dr. Beljanski studied the environmental impact on DNA replication and transcription. The Beljanski Foundation carries out its mission in the following ways: • Fund research of our specific scientific studies on natural, non toxic cures to cancer and other chronic diseases • Host fundraising events and building a donor base • Raise funds, celebrate achievements and awareness • Grant giving to Educational Institutions • Engage the public about The Beljanski Foundation through educational events and sponsorships

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The foundation intends to raise money to fund further research to help cure cancer the natural way. We wish to expand the audience we reach and increase the number of partners we have who share in our commitment to keep building upon the discoveries of Dr. Mirko Beljanski, and share the results with as many people as possible.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We will hold an annual fundraiser as well as a series of educational events when guests who come to hear from various health experts about a number of issues and solutions offered within the realm of conventional and integrative approaches. Guests who come to The Beljanski Foundation Fundraiser will be the first to hear of the latest updates regarding research programs funded by The Beljanski Foundation , and will be able to suggest and FUND future research.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Beljanski Foundation is very confident in being able to accomplish our goals of furthering research programs to help support cancer patients in natural and nontoxic ways. We have been working relentlessly to establish partnerships with renowned academic entities and get all the results published in peer-reviewed papers. Currently those partnerships have led to published papers on precancerous cells, cancerous cells, advanced cancerous cells, cancer stem cells, and chemotherapy. Over the past twenty years we have partnered with a number of well-established organizations such as:
• Columbia University
• Kansas University Medical Center
• Nanjing University
• Cancer Treatment Centers of America
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Here is the research programs that the Foundation has already completed in partnership with various academic entities, and we are working endlessly to bring more scientifically proven data and share it with the public.
