CHCF Brain Foundation
"Promoting Research to Develop Diagnostics and Personalized Medicine for Serious and Life-Threatening Diseases of the Brain with Psychological Manifestations and Revolutionizing how we Approach These Serious Diseases of Brain like any other Physical Diseases"
I formed CHCF in honor of my only son, whom I tragically lost in 2020. He was an incredible athlete and explorer, and we shared a tremendous love for solving complex problems through scientific and critical thinking. I was, and always be, honored to be his father. My son will remain in my heart every moment for the rest of my existence.
In establishing this foundation, I hope to keep his memory and intrepid spirit alive. Because he always called me a fixer, I don't want to let him down by giving in to despair, grief, and regret. Although I know it's too late to change the past for my beloved son, I feel it's my duty to do whatever is in my power to try to improve the future for others.

The long-term goals, which are the focus of CHCF , are to promote research to:
Develop objective unbiased diagnostic, risk biomarkers for early detection of serious diseases of the brain with psychological and behavioral manifestations using genomic and multi-omic approaches.
Identify the root cause(s) of learning disabilities, neuro-developmental delays and psychological disorders.
Develop curative therapies based on these not yet identified or characterized genetic and epigenetic factors.
