Join Our Mission
The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) is the only nonprofit in the world solely dedicated to discovering treatments and a cure for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (Progeria), a rare genetic condition that accelerates aging in children. Since 1999, PRF has transformed Progeria from an overlooked disorder into a leading area of scientific research, resulting in an FDA-approved treatment that is extending lives.Founded by Drs. Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns after their son, Sam, was diagnosed, PRF emerged from a critical need-there was no research, no treatment, and no hope for children with Progeria. Today, PRF funds and facilitates cutting-edge research, supports families worldwide, and leads groundbreaking initiatives to raise awareness. Sam's legacy continues to drive PRF's relentless pursuit of a cure.PRF has also played a pivotal role in global public awareness efforts, from securing top-tier media coverage to partnering with HBO on an Emmy Award-winning documentary and featuring in one of the most-viewed TEDx Talks of all time. Now, we are looking for a Director of Communications to take our mission to the next level.
