Dr. Borgonha will lead FA translational science efforts, including the development of a clinical registry and biobank.
FA was once an orphan disease that no one knew anything about, except that it was rare, it affected the blood and it was fatal. Thanks to 30 years of research, this is no longer the case.
This May, 30 FA families and members of the FA community held fundraisers all over the country and beyond to raise funds for research & family services.
The 4th Annual 5K for FA in honor of Eli Lana took place May 5 in Hilton, NY.
Trials investigating the FDA-approved drug metformin and the natural antioxidant quercetin were funded in early 2018.
Throughout the month of May, FARF supporters all of the world join in to raise funds and awareness. FA means #FindAnswers and #FightAlways.
