Aims

We have established a core group of motivated individuals to steer the project and welcome new members – please get in touch with us!

In the next year, we plan to develop a larger group of interested people representing a variety of stakeholder groups, including people with HD, family members, advocacy groups, researchers, clinicians, industry, and others. We are working with a drug access consultancy to identify readiness gaps for when the first treatments are licensed. We are also pursuing data analysis projects relevant to HEATED (see below).
