"Breakthroughs to Cures"

This fall the Myelin Repair Foundation 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 for all diseases.

The two events will take place respectively on October 7-8 and November 9-10 and are open to the public.

American Tinnitus Association supports this effort since we are committed to accelerating the cure and treatments for tinnitus.

There will be as many as 600 individuals from a wide range of backgrounds (scientists, policy-makers, pharmaceutical companies, nonprofits, tech entrepreneurs) in online conversation threads that are expected to identify a wide range of new strategies for accelerating research.

They are looking for patients and families to participate who can bring a sense of urgency to the game and who can share their ideas. If you are interested in playing visit http://info.breakthroughstocures.org starting September 7th to register for the first game on October 7th.

We believe this event will lead to perhaps the most cooperative and innovative solutions yet for breaking down the barriers that are slowing the pace of medical research and the development of new treatments and cures. Join us this fall!
