The CLL Global Research Foundation (CLLGRF) is a non-profit organization committed to accelerating progress towards the control and cure of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and related leukemias and lymphomas. The organization facilitates the development of effective diagnostic, monitoring and therapeutic tools for the management of CLL and related disorders.
