About Us

Where Are The Cures.org is a patient advocacy initiative of the Myelin Repair Foundation. The Myelin Repair Foundation (MRF) is a non-profit research organization committed to accelerating the pace of medical research and drug development.

For patients living with chronic diseases, every new scientific discovery offers new hope. But sadly, the chance that these discoveries will be translated to patient treatments is slim to none.

The reasons for this are known and well understood by those that fund and conduct basic research, as well as those in biotech and pharmaceutical companies that translate basic science into safe and commercially viable patient treatments.  Chief among those reasons is a deep chasm between those conducting academic medical research and those commercializing, regulating and approving patient treatments.

The ultimate impact on millions of patients and their families is the crushing reality of too few effective treatments for too many who can’t afford to wait. The annual $1.3 trillion impact on our economy is staggering. The cost to patients and their families is indefensible.

Our Mission

WhereAreTheCures.org is dedicated to educating all Americans about the current state of the medical research enterprise, the barriers that are slowing the delivery of patient treatments, and the innovators who are challenging the status quo. It provides a meeting place where patients, their families and all others can collectively raise their voices and gain momentum for change.

Signing the Patient’s Manifesto today and asking your family, friends and colleagues to do the same will help to raise visbility for this problem among your personal and professional networks and more broadly in the media.
