Board of Directors
The Board of Directors focuses on the foundation’s mission by setting goals, overseeing programs and activities, and providing fiscal guidance.
“ We like the philosophy of the Hereditary Disease Foundation that monies raised go directly to support research and that scientists from around the world are encouraged to collaborate and share their work. We’ve devoted ourselves to being supporters and research partners, and we have not been disappointed. The research is vibrant with possibilities.”
