MMRF FOUNDERS

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) was founded in 1998 by identical twin sisters Kathy Giusti, a former pharmaceutical executive and graduate of Harvard Business School, and Karen Andrews, an attorney, following Kathy's diagnosis with multiple myeloma. What began as an effort to stimulate the development of treatments that would allow Kathy to live to see her children grow up has become a focused mission to rapidly break down barriers slowing biomedical research and bring patients the treatments they urgently need.
