Board of Directors
About the Organization
The Eureka Institute for Translational Medicine is a fledging organization born out of the founders’
passion for medical innovation and for improving the quality of life for sufferers of chronic, and often
under-researched and abandoned, diseases. While the organization is new, it has conducted a Consensus
conference with world leaders in medicine to help shape guide its principal goals and activities in
accordance with actual gaps in the industry, and not just perceived needs. We believe this effort,
in addition to the specific experience of the board and charter members, contributes to our qualifications as an organization.
