Ataxia Drug Discovery Pipeline
Pharmaceutical companies describe the drug development process as a “pipeline.” Now that we have emerging Ataxia medications “in the pipeline” – we need to know that that means. Dr. Perlman and Dr. Shakkottai will take us through the process and help us understand how a rare disease fits into the model systems that pharmaceutical companies use to get a medication to the market.
Your Voice in Drug and Therapy Development
In modern medical research and treatment discovery, patients are research collaborators.

Learn why people with Ataxia are the key to finding treatments and what you can do to become a research collaborator.
