Lily at centre of exciting new mito research project

The Lily Foundation are thrilled to announce our pivotal role in the creation of a new cutting-edge, multi-site centre for mitochondrial disease research in partnership with LifeArc and Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK).

LifeArc, a self-funded, non-profit medical research organisation, are investing £7.5 million to establish a new translational research centre in the UK, the LifeArc Centre for Rare Mitochondrial Diseases.

The centre will serve as a national platform to connect specialists, patients, knowledge and infrastructure, with the goal of ensuring promising scientific discoveries are developed into tools, treatments and potential cures for those living with rare diseases.

This is a new chapter in mitochondrial disease research that should bring hope to the whole mito community. We look forward to sharing more as the project unfolds.

As always, we couldn’t invest in this pioneering research without your support.

Thank you,

The Lily team x
