TRIAD
HNF developed the Therapeutic Research in Accelerated Discovery (TRIAD) as a patient-led collaborative network with academia, government, and industry to develop treatments for CMT. Currently TRIAD involves many groups that span the drug discovery, drug development, and diagnostics continuum.
Our core philosophy mandates that we collaborate with our patient community and strategic partners compassionately, honestly and with integrity. The patient always comes first and drives our patient support and research efforts.
CMT & Pediatrics
HNF has a dedicated CMT & Pediatric initiative to support the development of clinical trials.
GRIN
As part of TRIAD, in 2013, the Global Registry for Inherited Neuropathies (GRIN) was developed as an extension to conduct patient-focused research & development for treatments and cures. The patient voice is at the forefront of all we do. By Incorporating the patient voice from the very beginning, our research programs have the greatest potential for success.
HNF funds research with one goal in mind, advancing to clinical trials. Partnerships vary depending on research goals, milestones met, preclinical or clinical development and the strategic alliance agreement.
