WHY: BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes that produce proteins that help repair damaged DNA. When functioning normally they prevent tumor growth. When they are mutated they are unable to repair ordinary DNA damage, predisposing cells to divide and change rapidly, which can lead to the development of cancer. The BRCA Foundation’s mission is to accelerate research and foster collaboration to prevent and cure BRCA cancers. The foundation invests in the most promising work of top scientific investigators while creating a forum for successful partnerships across institutions, all with the goal of getting the fastest possible results. Launched in 2016 by NetSuite Founder Evan Goldberg and his wife, Cindy, the aim of the foundation is to create a world free of the threat of BRCA cancers.
