Composta da scienziati di fama internazionale, ha il compito di garantire che i fondi Telethon vengano assegnati ai progetti più promettenti presentati ai bandi competitivi e di partecipare alla valutazione delle progettualità scientifiche degli Istituti.
L’eccellenza al centro di ogni valutazione: è il principio da cui parte la nostra commissione medico scientifica per scegliere i progetti meritevoli dei fondi. Senza però dimenticare che gli studi finanziati da Telethon devono avere rilevanza per i pazienti e contribuire ad avvicinare alla cura. Tutti i membri della commissione, che provengono da ogni parte del mondo, restano in carica per quattro anni e tra loro vi sono pochi italiani, per minimizzare i conflitti di interesse.
