What Is CJD?

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a fast-acting, brain-deterioration disease for which there is no treatment or cure. Progress is being made daily and the Joseph Schnieders Foundation is hopeful that it's efforts will speed additional positive developments.

Extensive information on CJD can be found by visiting www.cjdinsight.org. This web site was developed through the cooperative efforts of Ms. Deana Simpson, a Michigan nurse, and Dr. Paul Brown at the National Institutes of Health.

Ms. Simpson lost her mother to CJD in 1999. Ms. Simpson is one of nine children and she is very involved in doing everything possible to educate people about CJD and to help families that have loved ones suffering from CJD.

Paul Brown is a graduate of Harvard College and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He is a Board Certified Internist and the Senior Research Scientist in the Laboratory of Central Nervous System Studies at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. He also serves as expert consultant to several TSE advisory committees in Europe and the Americas.
