National Psoriasis Victor Henschel BioBank
 Who is Victor Henschel?



Victor Henschel
Victor Henschel struggled with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for more than 35 years. He believed strongly in helping others. This generosity was carried down through his family and in 2006, the Barbara and Neal Henschel Charitable Foundation pledged a $1 million gift to the National Psoriasis Foundation to be directed solely to the BioBank, which will hold the world's largest collection of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis genetic samples for use in research. It is the Henschel family's hope that the National Psoriasis Victor Henschel BioBank will provide scientists with the resources they need to study the disease and, ultimately, find a cure.
