Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research

Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research

Pioneering research at the Euan MacDonald Centre is finding out vital new information about motor neurons, working towards new drug treatments and improving quality of life for people with motor neurone disease (MND).

Motor neurons are cells that transmit electrical messages to tell your muscles what to do. MND gradually stops these messages reaching the muscles, leading to muscle weakness, loss of mobility and difficulties speaking, swallowing and breathing.

The Euan MacDonald Centre, based at the University of Edinburgh, is a network of over 200 researchers across Scotland. We use research to improve the lives of people living with MND and related conditions.

The Euan MacDonald Centre is part of the University of Edinburgh.
