Mission Statement:
Our mission is to accelerate the cure of MS by facilitating research that determines the causes and mechanisms of MS.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Despite decades of diligent research by scientists worldwide, nobody fully understands what causes MS, what triggers a relapse, or what causes lasting disability in people with MS. Accelerated Cure Project is helping scientists to get to the bottom of these questions. Our ultimate goal is to produce knowledge that can be used to stop the effects of the disease in people with MS, and prevent MS in people who are at risk. We are also helping scientists develop safer, more effective treatments and to create new methods for diagnosing MS.
Program History:
Accelerated Cure Project was founded in 2001 by Art Mellor, a high-tech entrepreneur who had been diagnosed with MS the previous year. Our initial scientific project was the development of the Cure Map, a comprehensive analysis of the causes of human disease and the knowledge generated by the many scientists who have investigated these causes in MS. You can learn more about the Cure Map and find related documents on our website.
From our work creating the Cure Map, we learned that MS is a complex, heterogeneous disease, and that future progress depends on research strategies and resources specifically tailored to address the challenges posed by this type of disorder. We launched the MS Repository in 2006 as a platform for bringing together data about multiple aspects of this disease that can be analyzed together to enable a deeper understanding of the causes and mechanisms of MS.
