Charcot Marie Tooth Disease - CMT Disease - Hereditary Neuropathy

Comprised of world-renowned researchers from all over the country, the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Committee reviews research proposals and oversees on-going research on a regular basis. The members of our Scientific Advisory Committee are noted researchers with expertise in a variety of CMT-related and translational research. Hailing from institutions such as Emory University, Stanford University, Harvard School of Medicine, and Columbia University, the Scientific Advisory Committee brings a wealth of knowledge to the search for a cure for Charcot Marie Tooth.

The Scientific Advisory Committee reviews submitted proposals, provides critiques to the researchers, and makes recommendations to the Medical Advisory Board who then reviews the proposals and provides recommendations to the Board of Directors. Once they are funded, each researcher is required to submit results to the Scientific Advisory Committee at regular intervals to insure that the research is achieving its goals and furthering the search for drug targets. This process guarantees that HNF funds innovative and cutting-edge research with the best possibility for developing a therapeutic.
