Myelin Repair Foundation
The Myelin Repair Foundation (MRF) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization based in Saratoga, California. The organization applies a collaborative business model to the process of medical research with the aim of accelerating the identification and development of new patient treatments. MRF's goal is to license its first drug target for commercial drug development by July 1, 2009, five years after the organization began funding research.〔( ''Myelin Repair Foundation,'' "Vision and Mission." )〕
The MRF was created by entrepreneur Scott Johnson in 2002, and began funding research in 2004. On June 22, 2015, the Foundation announced that due to a lack of financing, it will begin the process of winding down.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In middle of MS battle, pioneering foundation closing its doors )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Myelin Repair Foundation to Cease Operations )〕
==Background==
The Myelin Repair Foundation was founded in 2002 by Scott Johnson, a California entrepreneur. Johnson had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 20. When given his prognosis, he was told that an effective therapy would probably not be on the market for another 30 to 50 years. “If someone is diagnosed now…they’d probably hear the same thing,” Johnson says. “And that’s pretty frustrating.” 〔(''Myelin Repair Foundation'', “A New Model Offering New Hope.” )〕
As a result of his dissatisfaction with the status quo, and out of his desire to see a new treatment for multiple sclerosis, Johnson created the Myelin Repair Foundation, a not-for-profit with a business-inspired research model.
