About This Cause
The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, Inc., is a non-profit organization established in 1991 whose purpose is to raise funds on a national basis for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis of the University of Miami School of Medicine to conduct research to find more effective treatments for and, ultimately, the cure for spinal cord injury induced paralysis, and to provide information, education, and referral services to the spinal cord injured, their families, and friends. The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis has been in operation since 1985 under the non-profit aegis of the University of Miami. A 1-800-STAND-UP telephone line service is provided for the purpose of information, education and referral services to the spinal cord injured, their families, and friends. The Miami Project’s Christine E. Lynn Clinical Trials Initiative is designed to take discoveries found to be successful in laboratory studies and fast track them to human studies. Our FDA approved Schwann cell transplantation trial, the only one of its kind in the world, is changing the spinal cord injury field and sets an important foundation for future Miami Project cell replacement therapies. Miami Project researchers are conducting or participating in more than ten clinical trials for spinal cord and brain injuries, and have more than a dozen clinical research studies underway. Because of our clinical and research expertise, The Miami Project is confident that we have the knowledge and resolve to initiate additional clinical trials that will help us continue to responsibly and safely take these important steps into humans.
