Leadership
Ms. Kari Luther Rosbeck
Term:
Since
Nov
2007
Profile:
<p>Kari Luther Rosbeck, President and CEO, was formerly the Executive Vice President and has been with the organization since June 2001. During her tenure as CEO, the TS Alliance has established a Drug Screening Program, to foster collaboration with industry and academia in order to move treatments for tuberous sclerosis complex forward in a more expedited way, and played an active role in the development of the first clinical trial for neurocognition in TSC. In just the past two years, there have been FDA approvals for two therapies to combat infantile spasms, the most catastrophic form of epilepsy that up to 50% of infants with TSC may experience, and the first approval of a drug with a TSC indication, specifically SEGA associated with TSC. A second indication for TSC was approved in April of 2012, specifically for renal angiomyolipomas. The organization has taken an active role in educating the TSC community about clinical trials in order to diminish the time for recruitment.</p>
<p>Ms. Rosbeck previously oversaw the national volunteer outreach program and was responsible for fund development. She developed and implemented a vast national network of more than 30 volunteer branches called Community Alliances; increased volunteer participation from 90 individuals to more than 2,000; and through her involvement in special events and major gift fundraising, helped increase the annual revenue by more than 50%. Rosbeck has been involved in nonprofit fundraising and volunteer management for more than 20 years. </p>
Leadership Statement:
<p>It is a tremendous honor to work on behalf of the TSC community. Over the past 39 years, incredible strides have been made in the fights against TSC. The TS Alliance has served as a catalyst – first with the discovery of the TSC genes; second, the genetic pathway; and third in bringing together the research community for research conferences that have led to the clinical trials taking place today and two FDA-approved indications for TSC. Of the 6,000 rare diseases, only 200 have approved treatments; TSC is one of them. These advances have only been made possible through the generous partnership of compassionate individuals, foundations and corporations with a vested interest in important scientific breakthroughs. </p>For the first time, evidence exists that research will help not only the newly born and the newly diagnosed, but will also have an impact on the lives of those living with TSC today. We hope you will join us to Unlock the Cure.
