Innovative research
Motor neurone disease is a debilitating disease that leads to muscle weakness, ultimately paralysis, and is usually fatal within a few years. There are currently no effective treatments.
The Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research is committed to defeating the disease through fundamental innovative research.
