Latest issue - Target Research 2012 (1 of 4)

These databases contain information about individuals affected by a particular condition and are crucial for getting clinical trials under way quickly. Find out which patient registries are currently available, those that are coming soon and how to register your details. We also feature the results of myotonic dystrophy research that we have been funding in Glasgow.
