Advancing the Cure: How MDF drives research in myotonic dystrophy

Published: December 5, 2025

What does progress toward a cure look like for the DM community?
For many families, it means seeing real movement in science, new clinical trials, and researchers, industry partners, and advocates working together with one shared goal.

In this video, you’ll hear from individuals, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers who have watched the field transform—from early laboratory studies to a growing pipeline of potential treatments now entering or approaching clinical trials. You’ll also learn how MDF brings patients, scientists, and companies together to accelerate research and empower participation.

MDF continues to advance our mission of Community, Care, and a Cure by investing in research, supporting collaboration, and helping ensure that progress reaches the families who need it.

As the year comes to a close, consider making a gift to help accelerate research and bring us closer to meaningful treatments for people living with DM.
