About us - Scientific Committee

The Responsibilities of the Scientific Committee

Over the past year, the work of the Fund has been supported by the service of a number of eminent scientists as members of the Scientific Committee. Their work has continued to ensure that the money raised through the efforts of the branches of the Fund is devoted to projects of high quality, relevant to key issues in increasing our understanding of this disease, which still affects so many people. All proposals received by the Fund are reviewed to the highest international standards by scientists and clinicians from many institutions in the UK, Europe and North America, preliminary to consideration by our own Scientific Committee.
