The Children’s Tumor Foundation
The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is a 503(c) medical foundation whose vision is to end Neurofibromatosis (NF), one of the world’s most common inherited neurological disorders. Their innovative work on The Biobank project and the Synodos approach address the critical importance of a research community that works collaboratively towards their common goals.
In the last five years the Foundation has evolved into a very active partner of researchers, and has spearheaded many initiatives in order to create collaborative projects and research platforms to advance knowledge at a faster pace and find a cure for NF. In this webinar, a general outline of CTF’s roadmap to end NF will be described, with highlights on key projects that have shifted collaboration and results to a new level of accomplishment. In particular, you will learn about the Biobank project and how this has been implemented from scratch, the open-data platform aimed at disseminating results and findings to the research community, and the broader policy of data sharing that CTF is pioneering on the Synodos collaborative projects.
