Medical Research
Since 2010 NF Michigan has granted over $325,000 to fund research for both NF1 and NF2. While NF has no cure and few treatments, researchers across the country and here in Michigan are working tirelessly to improve treatments and ultimately cure NF. Year by year they make discoveries that help enhance the health and quality of life of those affected.
