Descrizione Azienda
Fondazione Telethon is one of Italy’s leading non-profit organisations. Our mission is to invest in the best scientific research to arrive at a cure for rare genetic diseases. For these diseases, precisely because of their rarity, there is often no research, no therapies, no cure. We want to change this state of affairs because every person is important to us.
