The Litvan Neurological Research Foundation, Inc. (LNRF) was established to strive for the discovery of a cure for patients with neurodegenerative disorders presenting with parkinson's disease, atypical parkinsonian disorders, or dementia symptom.

The vision of the LNRF is to become a national resource for patients, caregivers, and families affected, as well as for researchers studying these disorders.

The foundation was founded in honor of Marcos Litvan, father of Irene Litvan, M.D.

This foundation was created in memoriam of my dad and all those who always fought for advances in medicine, peace and justice without losing their human essence.

Marcos Litvan's (1909-1999) love for medicine, excellence and justice has been an inspiration to his children and grandchildren, who became physicians.
