SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD
The Hereditary Disease Foundation's Scientific Advisory Board is
composed of distinguished scientists from around the world. The Board
meets annually every January in Santa Monica, California, to review
grant and fellowship applications in order to assure that each supported
project has relevance to Huntington's disease, and is scientifically
sound as well as economically justified. Additionally, the Board plans
future workshops, and makes policy decisions on matters pertinent to the
science that the Foundation supports.
