Research
DCND is committed to furthering science and medicine to help patients. Getting involved in research can help the medical community develop new drugs and treatments that can help improve the quality of life for patients. The overall goal is to know as much as we can about a disease so we can better treat it. By getting involved in research, you can help others in the same situation and possibly get access to cutting edge treatment not available to the public yet.
