About Us

The Jewish Wolfram Network is dedicated to raising awareness, advancing research and supporting families affected by the Ashkenazi subtype of Wolfram syndrome. Our mission is to connect patients, caregivers, medical professionals and researchers to foster understanding, accelerate medical breakthroughs and improve the lives of those living with this condition.

We believe in the power of community, advocacy and science — and we're here to make a difference, together.
