MPN Research Foundation

The mission of MPN Research Foundation is to stimulate original research in pursuit of new treatments — and eventually a cure — for the blood cancers essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and myelofibrosis, known collectively as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Through a combination of investing in innovative research, advocating for the patient voice, and convening the global MPN community, we bring together patients, researchers, and industry around the common goal of realizing new treatment options and, ultimately, cures for MPNs. MPN Research Foundation’s Patient Impact Council supports our commitment to patient-centric MPN research. The Council is composed of patients and caregivers spanning a diverse range of MPN experiences, diagnoses, demographics and geographic locations. Each council member brings their lived experience in MPNs, interest in medical research, community engagement, and unique insights forward, helping MPN Research Foundation advocate for the patient voice by including patients’ voices, lived experiences, and perspectives in the decision-making process to inform all aspects of MPNRF to promote research advances and therapies with meaningful benefits to patients.
