Foundation for Mitochondrial Medicine - Supporting Mitochondrial Disease Research and Treatments

FMM supports the development of the most promising research and treatments of the many forms of mitochondrial disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a core element in common neurodegenerative and neurological diseases.

MAKE THE CONNECTIONS: 1-in-2500 people have mitochondrial disease. And a cure for this disease could impact cures for Autism, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Lou Gehrig disease, and muscular dystrophy. And it’s this web of complexity and connectivity that makes mitochondrial medicine research valuable to so many.

WHY GIVE: The Foundation for Mitochondrial Medicine’s mission is to support the development of the most promising research and treatments of the many forms of mitochondrial disease. Your donation means momentum to accelerate entry into the clinical trial phases, which will in turn propel mitochondrial disease research faster toward the cures.
