About the SRB

The Scientific Review Board is composed of leading cystinosis scientists, researchers and doctors from around the world. The members are actively involved in the grant review process and advise the Cystinosis Research Foundation on the merit of each proposal, submit funding recommendations and offer general research guidelines. We are indebted to the Scientific Review Board members for their guidance and commitment to helping our children.
