What is CMRI?

At the Children's Medical Research Institute there is a crack team of scientists busily researching the very beginnings of disease. They're on a mission to reduce the number of children born with genetic illnesses.

Their research has already led to treatment and prevention of genetic diseases, Rubella for example. Today, thousands of babies around the world are no longer being born with Rubella's devastating affects – deafness, blindness, congenital heart disease, and intellectual disability, and they are on the brink of yet more.

They collaborate with scientists all over the world because they are not owned by a drug company or a government. But this means that their research funding must come from the community. In other words, you and me.
