The Sabrina Cohen Foundation for Stem Cell Research is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between stem cell research and the infinite solutions it can provide for curing disease through education and raising funds for research.
The Sabrina Cohen Foundation for Stem Cell Research (SCF) was founded in 2006 by stem cell research advocate and quadriplegic, Sabrina Cohen, with the intent to be a leader in the fight against disease. SCF envisions a world where the devastating impact of illness and disease is significantly reduced with sound, ethical stem cell solutions, allowing individuals and families to live life to the fullest.
SCF is managed and operated as an "Organization for Cures" dedicated to funding advanced stages of research that will accelerate the discovery, development and delivery of therapeutics for all diseases that can benefit; including spinal cord injury, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's, cancer and Alzheimer's. We strongly believe proper public education will lead to the medical breakthroughs we seek to fund.
