Research

We are championing a future with fewer barriers and greater possibilities for people affected by neuromuscular disorders (NMDs). Research is essential to creating that future.

Advancing neuromuscular research

Thanks to donors, our long-standing partnership with Fire Fighters, and the strength of our community, we are advancing neuromuscular research on multiple fronts.

Our investments drive improvement in diagnosis, treatment and care, give real-life experiences with NMDs the attention they deserve, keep Canada at the forefront of neuromuscular research, and help move research insights out of the lab and into practice.

Fueling discovery and collaborating for impact

We fund lab- and clinic-based research that explores ways to improve diagnosis, disease onset and progression, and symptom management. Our goal is to enhance care and pave the way for the development of new therapies and, ultimately, cures.

Amplifying the experiences of the community

Nobody understands the needs of the neuromuscular community more than those who are personally affected. From clinical trials to sharing your lived experience, your participation is essential in our research work.

Equipping you with the latest research knowledge

To make a difference, research needs to move out of the lab or clinic where it was conducted and be shared more broadly. To equip the neuromuscular community with the latest information about research we offer webinars, a research hotline, and more.
