President and Founder, Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy |
Susan Axelrod, M.B.A., is president and founder of Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE), a non-profit organization founded by mothers of children with severe epilepsy. Since its inception in 1998, CURE has raised more than $3 million to fund research into finding cures and worked to raise public awareness to the prevalence and devastation of epilepsy. Ms. Axelrod helped organize and cosponsor the NIH conference, "Curing Epilepsy-Focus on the Future," in March 2000 and is helping to plan the second NIH conference, "Curing Epilepsy 2007: Translating Discoveries into Therapies," to be held in March 2007. |
