People with MS, a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, experience a wide range of life-limiting symptoms, ranging from problems with vision, movement and sensation to fatigue, pain and issues with memory and thinking. Perhaps worse still is the unpredictability of when these symptoms might get worse. Addressing the biggest challenges for people living with MS means relentless discovery, development and delivery of transformative solutions with the goal of achieving complete disease control.
The development and subsequent physical and mental decline in people with neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease have a devastating impact on the lives of those affected and their families. Pursuing innovation is critical to changing the course of these diseases and supporting those living with them and their caregivers.
SMA is a rare, devastating genetic disease that leads to progressive muscle weakness, paralysis, and, when left untreated in its most severe forms, permanent ventilation or death in 90% of children by age 2. It is a leading genetic cause of infant death. All those diagnosed with SMA should be able to benefit from cutting-edge technology, through turning promising transformative medicines into proven treatments.
