[TMIC] Scott Johnson's Myelin Repair Center
Scott Johnson, a MS sufferer, left Silicon Valley to found this Center, motivated by the question, why did it take so long for there to be cure. He is reported as changing the model of how research works. He is said to ask the question of how could myelin be fixed, thereby making research, clinical science, more patient focused. The PBS newshour news story-- just heard-- Thursday 9/23/10 focused on academic scientists at UCSF. This made me very excited--- because what we share with MS is the loss of myelin and if a fix/restore is found for this, life would be wonderful. I looked it up online-- it's called Foundation, not center as the reporter said. http://www.myelinrepair.org/myelin_repair/ The Myelin Repair Foundation has brought together an aggressive plan with the right scientific team. The result: We're speeding the time it takes to develop and move scientific discoveries from the laboratory to the MS patient - making the process up to twice as fast. Our scientific team's accomplishments include the following: * Identified over 150 potential myelin repair targets. * Identified 24 new research tools that may have application across all neurological disease research. * Identified 20 patentable inventions; First patent awarded in 2008. Second patent awarded in 2010. * Published more than 80 articles in peer-reviewed journals Akua --
[TMIC] idea sourcing events called Breakthroughs to Cures
Myelin Repair Foundation this fall the MRF will be hosting two online idea sourcing events called Breakthroughs to Cures which are designed to explore creative ways to accelerate the pace of medical research and shorten the time to market for new medicines. This project is funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Pioneer Portfolio and the game-style idea sourcing technology tool will be developed by the Institute for the Future. We expect to engage as many as 600 individuals in online conversation threads that are expected to identify a wide range of new strategies for accelerating research. The two events will take place respectively on October 7-8 and November 9-10 and are open to the public. If you are interested in registering to play the game, watch for updates in our monthly newsletter. --

[TMIC] An update
Hi friends, A couple of months ago I left Brasil to try to remember who I was before TM..as you all know. Do you remember the little child I found with TM who changed my life? Well if not, her name is Christa Brumant who also suffer from this disease of ours from Trinidad. She is presently in Kennedy Krieger Institute . finally recieving the treatment she needs after being diagnosed 14 months ago. She is 10 years old and I honestly think she is a lot stronger than me and she taught me so much with just her smile. I know I put you guys through a hell of a lot worrying about me and now it is slightly ridiculous for me to ask you guys for a favour, but I must. Please spend some time to wish her well as she tries to get better. She is such a great kid and I love her so much, it hurts to know she suffers from this thing of ours. I'll update you guys as her treatment comes along. Regards, Jeron
