NOKOMIS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Parkinsons disease is the core focus of the The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Rainbow BioSciences (OTCBB: RBCC) intends to join the Foundation in the fight against Parkinsons disease when it signs a letter of intent with an advanced therapy developer within the next few days, and with good reason: There could be 12 million people suffering from the disease by 2032. <\/p>\n
Thanks in no small part to the high profile of its A-list namesake, the Michael J. Fox Foundation has over the past 12 years become the largest private funder of Parkinson's disease research in the world, investing nearly $179 million in research to date. Through its aggressive outreach work, the Foundation has realized unprecedented success in raising awareness of the disease and its effects around the world. <\/p>\n
Though the global market for Parkinsons treatments is $3 billion and growing, there are currently no drugs or therapies available that are capable of stopping or slowing the diseases progression. With RBCCs focus on this devastating disease, effective new emerging therapies are on the horizon. <\/p>\n
