The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) was founded in 1998 by Kathy Giusti, a close friend, and her twin sister, Karen Andrews, after Kathy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. At first, they were looking for a way to help stimulate the development of treatments that would help Kathy live to see her children grow up. Over time, it has become a mission focused on breaking down the barriers that slow biomedical research. The MMRF model is an end-to-end solution that accelerates drug development and gets the next generation of treatments to patients as quickly as possible.
The MMRF relentlessly pursues innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure. To learn more about MMRF, please visit their website or connect with them on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
