Motor neurone disease research

At Motor Neurone Disease New Zealand, we invest in research that improves lives, informs advocacy, and builds momentum toward a cure. Through a collaborative, community-focused approach, we support ethically approved studies that bring treatment trials to Aotearoa, shape policy, and uncover new therapies — all while strengthening research capability and making time count for those living with motor neurone disease.
