Welcome to the Huntington Project
The Huntington Project brings together clinical and basic scientists, individuals and families affected by Huntington’s disease (HD), advocacy groups, and all others in the HD community to find and develop treatments that make a difference in the lives of those affected by HD. By engaging the entire community in the planning and execution of clinical research, the Huntington Project will maximize the efficiency and fruitfulness of the search.
