Cure the future - DNA Dave

Our mascot DNA Dave was created in early 2007. He represents the children of Cure The Future, embodying our vision of curing thousands of genetically inherited diseases through cell and gene therapy, so that our children and grandchildren do not have to suffer from them in the future.

He represents the hope of saving future generations of children from suffering and signifies the fun and creative culture of the Cure The Future family and the people who belong to it.There are over 4,000 genetically inherited diseases which could potentially be cured by cell and gene therapies.
