Fundación Stop Leucemia

What Fundación Stop Leucemia does

Fundación Stop Leucemia is a private non-profit foundation established in Galicia, Spain, with its registered office in Ordes (A Coruña) and a research team linked to the Instituto de Investigacións Sanitarias de Santiago (IDIS) at the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Santiago de Compostela. The foundation's mission is to fund and advance scientific research against leukemia and other hematological neoplasms, supporting a research group (Hematología Computacional y Genómica — GrHeCo-Gen) led by Dr. Adrián Mosquera. Its core scientific work centers on the ADIANTHE project, which applies artificial intelligence, machine learning, genomics, bioinformatics, and next-generation sequencing to develop personalized survival prediction models, treatment response models, and neoantigen identification pipelines for hematological malignancies. Outputs include 22+ peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals and recognition including the Real Academia de Medicina de Galicia's Fundación Centro Oncológico de Galicia José Antonio Quiroga y Piñeyro award.

The foundation operates as a community-led, donation-funded organization with no commercial product. Revenue streams include individual donations (one-time and recurring via card or SEPA direct debit, tax-deductible under Spain's Ley del Mecenazgo 49/2002), corporate donations and sponsorships, the symbolic gift catalog 'Regala Ciencia', and branded merchandise. Go-to-market is concentrated in Galicia through digital channels (website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, email newsletter), corporate business encounter events ('Encuentros Empresariales') across multiple Galician cities in partnership with Libredón and Club Financiero de Santiago, and charity events such as Jealsa Solidaria and the CGES Mutuactivos Golf Tournament. Patronage is anchored by the Concheiro family, with board members drawn from Grupo Internaco, Macoga, and allied companies, alongside corporate partners including Jealsa, Tien21, Grupo Oesía, and RCD Deportivo.

The organization maintains a small team (5 employees), supports 2 contracted researchers, and operates a hematological sample biobank. It is GDPR and LOPDGDD compliant. While research output is disproportionate to its size and the AI/genomics positioning is differentiated, the foundation has no disclosed funding rounds, no audited revenue, and a regionally constrained scope, making it a niche, mission-driven research funding vehicle rather than a scalable commercial enterprise.
