Medical Advisory Board

Campaign Urging Research for Eosinophilic Diseases (CURED) Medical and Scientific Advisory Board is composed of leading scientists, clinicians, and healthcare professionals from institutions across the United States who specialize in Eosinophilic Diseases. The advisory board provides scientific and clinical expertise to guide us in planning and implementing our research initiatives, in-depth information and educational services for patients, their families and caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

All advisory members contribute their expertise on a pro bono basis with no conflict of interest between their professional work and the volunteer work they do for CURED.
