CureDuchenne is a non-profit organization founded in 2003 by Debra and Paul Miller, parents of a Duchenne boy. CureDuchenne’s vision is its name to cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy. CureDuchenne aggressively seeks the most promising, leading edge research breakthroughs and expedites them to the clinical trial process. The ultimate goal…give the boys that have Duchenne now a chance to live a normal life by expediting the cure and/or the availability of therapies that can give quality of life to Duchenne boys, much like insulin does for diabetics.

BIO is a strong advocate for federal funding of stem cell research and welcomes President Obama’s Executive Order which will allow federal funding of more embryonic stem cell research. We look forward to working with Congress and the Administration to develop public policies that enable our industry to turn the hope of basic research to the reality of cures and advanced therapies.
