"Countdown to a cure is a showcase of the innovative research we are funding, the international expert researchers whose careers we help develop to keep the expertise in the field of MND research..."
~ Dr Brain Dickie MBE, Director of Research
The process of developing a potential new treatment for MND is long, challenging and incredibly expensive. Many potential new treatments often do not perform well in humans. This is where the development of new treatments often fail.
Translational Research: which seeks to produce more meaningful, applicable results that directly benefit human health.
This bridges the gap between laboratory-based research and clinical trials. It aims to give new potential treatments the best chance possible of making it through all the stages of development.
Advances in technology, milestone discoveries and new partnerships are now helping us take what we have learned so far about what causes MND and translate that into potential treatments.
