The Lampidis Cancer Foundation

The Lampidis Cancer Foundation The Lampidis Cancer Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation established in 2013 to help highlight and fund groundbreaking cancer research.

The fundamental science behind Dr. Lampidis’ research is to trick the hypoxic (non-oxygen consuming) cancer cells found deep in the heart of a cancerous tumor to ingest a fake sugar (a form of glucose called 2-DG) which causes the hypoxic cancer cells to starve and die. This process (glycolysis) is so fundamental, it has survived a billion years of evolution dating back to a time when there was no

oxygen in our atmosphere and the only source of energy that could be used to keep tiny microbes alive was sugar. The cancer cells that 2-DG kills are resistant to conventional chemotherapy, are the most metastatic, and are found within every solid tumor regardless of its type. Dr. Lampidis’ strategy offers a universal approach to treating all types of cancer – putting us on the brink of something that could immeasurably benefit mankind.

It’s with the deepest sadness that we mark the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Mark Phillips.

It feels both fitting and poignant that his memorial service is being held today in Miami Beach – on his birthday – a city he loved and a day that now holds even deeper meaning.

Mark was a cofounder of the Lampidis Cancer Foundation and a tireless champion of Ted’s work, raising thousands in support of research that offered hope to so many. The tragic irony is not lost on us—that he ultimately lost his own battle with the very disease he fought so fiercely to help cure.

Mark’s life was one of purpose and generosity. His belief in the power of science, of community, and of showing up for the causes that mattered – never wavered.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Olivia and his family. This photo, taken a decade ago at one of Mark’s fundraisers, is just one small glimpse of the light he brought into our lives. His legacy endures – in research, in remembrance, and in all of us who had the honor to know him. RIP Mark ###
