Worldwide Coverage Promotes Public Awareness Education Outreach
Promotes Scientific Progress
Since the 2003 gene discovery, PRF’s story has appeared on CNN, Primetime Live, The Today Show, in Time Magazine, People magazine, The New York Times, and dozens of other media outlets that have a keen interest in Progeria and PRF’s work. This has led to more children being diagnosed earlier, so they get proper medical care and enter our programs, and more scientists becoming involved. This is how the research field of Progeria mushrooms, as we see more children identified and more high-level scientists producing data that will help to better understand Progeria and develop treatments in the future. Read below for excerpts from these major media stories, and about the latest scientific breakthroughs.
