The Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research
Following a substantial donation by Donald MacDonald, a leading Scottish Businessman, and his son Euan MacDonald, 32, who was diagnosed with MND in the early autumn of 2003, the University of Edinburgh has set up a centre of excellence which will carry out research into motor neurone disease. The Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research focusses on developing more effective treatment for patients and will form part of a worldwide effort towards finding a cure for the disease.

The Patrick Wild Centre for Autism, Fragile X Syndrome and Intellectual Disabilities
Fragile X Syndrome is the most common inherited cause of childhood cognitive impairment and is also the leading genetic cause of autism. The Patrick Wild Centre for Autism, Fragile X Syndrome and Intellectual Disabilities is an exciting new venture that brings together clinical research and new approaches to laboratory-based research to unlock some of the underlying causes of childhood cognitive impairment. The aim is to improve diagnosis of these diseases and, critically, point the way to new curative techniques and therapies for patients and their families. We are committed to raising approximately £1,000,000 over 5 years to establish the first UK Centre for Research into Childhood Cognitive Impairment and fund vital research which will develop therapeutic interventions for a wide range of cognitive impairments in both children and adults.
