Scientific Advisory Board members serve as volunteers. Most have served on this prestigious board since 1998. Why would these extremely busy scientists who have full-time careers and travel the world speaking about their work choose to serve on the ANRF Scientific Advisory Board for so many years? They serve because they are committed to the research ideas and the young scientists who conduct these studies.<\/p><p>\u201cIn this case, there was just no question,\u201d says Gale Granger, Ph.D., \u201cThere\u2019s so much serious, world-changing research going on because of what the ANRF is doing for the most promising researchers in arthritis and immunological research, that each of us felt compelled to further its cause.\u201d<\/p><p>The Arthritis National Research Foundation provides grant funding to young investigators studying the causes of \u2013 and new treatments for \u2013 the many forms of arthritis, including Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus and Juvenile Arthritis.<\/p><p>As the\u00a0annual applications for grants\u00a0began to rapidly increase in number, the ANRF called upon top researchers and scientists to become members of its Scientific Advisory Board. Each year, these leaders of our industry sit down together to comb through each and every grant application. It requires hours and hours of careful study and intense discussion.<\/p><p>In addition to its annual charge of selecting each year\u2019s grant recipients, the ANRF\u2019s Scientific Advisory Board advises the Board of Directors on the trends in research and clinical treatments, and helps guide the ANRF into the future.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s a look inside the most distinguished minds in the field of arthritis and immunological research:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ff58f53 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ff58f53\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4aeef4bf\" data-id=\"4aeef4bf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cf6bea2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7cf6bea2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.16.0 - 12-09-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/curearthritis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/CraigWalsh-e1607126870580-137x165-1-pmhjfdv8rv5xv4zhktbw9y2i7fnf5o2d0r0ph88v34.png\" title=\"CraigWalsh-e1607126870580-137&#215;165\" alt=\"CraigWalsh-e1607126870580-137x165\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-547cd2e1\" data-id=\"547cd2e1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10113dc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"10113dc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Craig Walsh, Ph.D.<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fd9177b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6fd9177b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Chair, Scientific Advisory Board<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Professor, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry<br \/>University of California, Irvine School of Biological Sciences<br \/>Director, Multiple Sclerosis Research Center<\/strong><\/p><p>Dr. Walsh is an expert in Immunology and his research focuses on the role apoptotic signal transduction plays in the development, activation and homeostasis of the immune system.
