29 December 2006 – A new website has been launched, announcing the mission of the “Focused Ultrasound Surgery Foundation (FUSF),” based in Charlottesville, VA. The site broadcasts the group’s plans to engage in “education, translational and clinical research, and creation of a network of research and development centers.” The board of directors includes, among others, Joseph Hogan, president and CEO of GE health care, and Kobi Vortman, founder, president, and Chief Executive Officer InSightec Ltd., as well as an impressive scientific advisory board consisting of world-renown experts.

Further information can be found at the group’s website www.fusfoundation.org.
