Philanthropic Investors will Help MoveScience from Lab to Patients More Rapidly
There is an exciting window of opportunity for inspirational donors to help achieve a breakthrough for those suffering from Usher syndrome 1F. As science is reaching a critical tipping point, such donors will help the Collaborative to increase speed as well as to derisk the development process for new drugs and therapies as shown in the diagram on the left.
The Collaborative is currently at step #3.
Seeing Forward is a comprehensive initiative to advance rapidly toward step # 6—curative therapies.
Stories of giving
