Our Mission in Muscular Dystrophy Research
CINRG was formed in 1999 as the clinical research arm of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research Center (DMDRC) and the Research Center for Genetic Medicine at the Children’s National Medical Center (CNMC). The CINRG Coordinating Center is located in the Children’s Research Institute on the 5th floor of CNMC in Washington, DC.
The CINRG effort has blossomed into a 21-site clinical trial network in 10 countries. The muscular dystrophy clinic at CNMC has grown over 10-fold in the past 3 years as a result of the visibility of CINRG. Today, CINRG works to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by seamlessly integrating basic and preclinical science into multicenter human clinical trials.
Our Mission:To be a pre-eminent neuromuscular research group striving to advance knowledge of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders through the implementation of cutting edge clinical trials throughout various countries and cultures over the world.
Our Vision:To find a cure and advance the standard of care for all patients and families with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy over diverse geographies and cultures. No child with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy will be left untreated or without access to health care professionals, education or compassionate care.
