Accelerated Cure Project
Art Mellor
The Accelerated Cure Project (formerly the Boston Cure Project) is the brainchild of Art Mellor, a successful Boston-area technology business owner. After being diagnosed with MS and learning that researchers were not nearing a cure for this difficult illness, he quit his job and co-founded the ACP (along with his neurologist Tim Vartanian, MD) to jumpstart progress towards the cure. With the assistance of Boston-area physicians, the non-profit ACP is in the middle of performing a comprehensive research review designed to organize all existing MS-related research and to extract from this body of knowledge best-paths for future research towards a cure. They are fund-raising to develop a tissue bank which will facilitate future research efforts, and will ultimately fund direct research efforts which focus on research questions they want answered. This is a wonderful and vital group who would benefit from your support, interest, contributions or volunteer skills.
