Improving CMD pre-clinical rigor and objectivity is a top priority for Cure CMD in 2012 as we move to position the CMDs in a translational space.

To improve cross-talk between scientists and develop rational strategies to move therapies into clinical space, we invite scientists working on congenital muscular dystrophy to register their experiments.
