About Families for Research
Families for Research(FFR) was inspired by the McIntyre family who sought a cure for their son Carson. Since Carson suffers from a form of muscular dystrophy that affects a relative small number of boys no funding was available for the research. The McIntyre's have become official University of Utah volunteers to raise funds in support of research.
The FFR website was established to support families who are interested in raising funds for genetic research. Today there are many areas of genetic research being conducted at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics. Please click on the link to view the areas of research (Current Research)
