What we do

Mission

What we do

Cure4Life aims to improve the accessibility of modern gene therapies. At a scientific level, we develop a general set of techniques and protocols to treat various rare genetic diseases in a curative manner. At a societal level, we participate in and initiate the public debate by sharing insights about the importance -and the implications - of widespread availability of stem cell-based genetherapy.

Mission & vision

Mission

Providing everyone suffering from rare genetic diseases with access to a CURE FOR LIFE.

Cure4Life believes that potentially life-saving gene therapies should not be held back except for lack of quality, safety or efficacy.

Vision

Suffering from rare, genetic diseases should be a thing of the past.

Cure4Life envisions a society in which modern gene therapies are available to everyone who benefits from them.

Values and rules

Effective collaboration only works when we are all on the same page. Our core values ​​therefore apply to us and to everyone we work with.

By naming these values...

  • We inspire and motivate change
  • We make it easier to make (difficult) choices
  • We determine where our most important priorities lie
  • We identify what everyone involved in Cure4Life has in common

It is important to regularly return to these values ​​so that we do not forget what we stand for and what others can hold us accountable for.

Our core values

Together we are strong

Cure4Life is a platform and a network in which different disciplines come together to accelerate social progress. Experience and expertise are shared, so that ideas are collected and adopted better and faster, by many different bright minds.

We hold nothing back

Radical solutions can only exist if we are open to new ideas. We therefore do not think in terms of boundaries, titles or boxes: every experience or expertise is equally valuable to Cure4Life. We share our knowledge and our responsibility.

We share a drive for change

Cure4Life will exist for 5 years. This means that there is no time to lose in achieving the desired future now.
