The TSC Alliance is an internationally recognized non-profit organization that aims to improve the lives of people with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). TSC is a genetic disorder that causes tumours to form in many different organs, primarily in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. The aspects of TSC that most strongly impact quality of life are generally associated with the brain: seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism.

TSC Alliance’s aims are to drive research, improve quality care and access, and advocate for all affected by the disease. The TSC Alliance collaborates with individuals and families, along with the partnership of other organizations, fuelling their work to ensure people navigating TSC have support. touchNEUROLOGY had the pleasure of speaking with Kari Luther Rosbeck, President & Chief Executive Officer of TSC Alliance, to discuss main events that they have planned in the coming months and years.
