University of Florida Center for NeuroGenetics

The University of Florida Center for NeuroGenetics is a research center located in Gainesville, Florida. With a small team of three employees, the center focuses on unraveling the complexities of neurodegenerative diseases. The Center for NeuroGenetics (CNG) investigates genetic disorders affecting the nervous and muscular systems. These disorders encompass a wide range of devastating diseases, including ALS, Alzheimer's disease, myotonic dystrophy, Huntington's disease, and the spinocerebellar ataxias. CNG aims to identify the underlying genetic causes of these diseases and develop effective treatment strategies. CNG emphasizes a collaborative approach, partnering with affected families to identify novel disease genes. This patient-centric approach ensures that research findings are directly relevant to the needs of individuals living with these debilitating conditions. The center also bridges the gap between clinical and basic science, fostering a multidisciplinary environment that fosters innovative solutions.
