NF Consortium Development Site: University of Alabama at Birmingham

Abstract

University of Alabama at Birmingham has worked together with eight other consortium development sites and the Consortium Operations Center to develop the approach to develop innovative biologically based therapeutics for NF1 and to implement sequential hypothesis driven translation trials for multiple NF1 clinical manifestations. Dr. Korf has served as co chair of the plexiform and other neurofibromas committee as well as chair of the publications committee. In addition, he serves as a member of the Operations Center. Several other UAB faculty serve on additional committees (Dr. Amy Theos plexiform and other neurofibromas committee; Dr. Joseph Pressy MPNST committee; Dr. Alyssa Reddy visual pathway and other intracranial gliomas committee; Dr. Joseph Ackerson neurocognitive intervention committee). These efforts resulted in submission of a grant proposal to establish the NF1 Research Consortium to the Department of Defense in August 2006.
