Jacob’s Cure is a nonprofit foundation focused on advancing research toward curing Canavan disease, a fatal genetic neurological disorder that affects children at birth. Based in Rye, New York, the organization directs funds to research initiatives in gene therapy, stem cell transplantation, pharmacological approaches, and basic science to deepen understanding of the disease, aiming to halt or slow its progression. Its work supports researchers worldwide and includes establishing and funding the Canavan Research Lab at UMDNJ/SOM under Dr. Paola Leone, with a focus on interventions that can help children affected by Canavan today. Since its founding in 2000, the foundation has pursued efforts across multiple scientific avenues to address the disorder at its root and improve clinical outcomes for patients and families.
