    GFPD Values

    Our Mission

    To improve the lives of individuals with Peroxisomal Disorders by funding research, championing scientific collaboration, and empowering families and professionals through educational programs and support services.

    GFPD Diversity Statement

    Peroxisomal disorders impact individuals of every race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sex, gender, sexual orientation, belief system, ability, and age. Using our values of inclusion and community as our guide, The GFPD is committed to promoting acceptance and advocating for equality and equity in healthcare and educational settings while combating prejudices, discrimination, and biases. We will engage in this important dialogue with our diverse community by listening and learning from our families, researchers, and professionals.
