Research

One of Ataxia UK's main objectives is to fund high quality research into the ataxias. We aim to find causes and develop treatments to prevent the devastating effects of the ataxias. We are currently funding 19 research projects in the UK and mainland Europe.

Ataxia UK has been funding a range of projects over the years, from basic science research (such as understanding the disease mechanism of a particular ataxia) to more applied research including pilot trials of therapeutic interventions.

For more information see Ataxia UK's Research Strategy .

Ataxia UK is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC), a membership organisation of the leading medical and health research charities in the UK (www.amrc.org.uk). Ataxia UK complies with the AMRC's guidelines of best practice in managing research programmes.
