Accelerated Cure Project Philosophy

Our mission is to cure Multiple Sclerosis

We will not be content with simply finding ways to slow the disease or treat symptoms. Curing means preventing the disability caused by MS, permanently stopping the progress of MS, and repairing the damage already caused in patients with MS.

As quickly as possible

Speed and effectiveness of finding a cure are much more important than other outcomes such as growth, wealth creation, and publicity (for the organization or any individuals involved with it).

By concentrating on finding the causes of MS

The logical route to a cure will come from determining the causes of MS.

By tapping the knowledge and good ideas of leading experts working as a team

Working together will produce the best ideas and lead to increased opportunities for leveraging our efforts. We look for people who are not only able to contribute their own ideas, but also enjoy learning from colleagues and building on their contributions. We will share this knowledge with individuals with MS and their families, clinicians, researchers, and other MS organizations to build an informed MS community.

And also by improving the way research is orchestrated, conducted, and funded

We have the exciting opportunity to not only cure MS but also achieve a breakthrough in the way medical research is carried out. We will consciously evaluate the existing methods and norms of medical research, adopting those that are effective in helping us reach our goal and creating better alternatives for those that are not.
