FSHD-Global Research Foundation

FSHD-Global Research Foundation We are "Giving Life to Muscles" as we promote better muscle health for all. The progression of FSHD is quite variable, yet tends to be slow.

We are Australia's peak body for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to finding a treatment and cure for FSHD. Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) is an inheritable and debilitating muscle disease, characterised by the progressive irreversible weakening and loss of skeletal the muscles in the body. In the majority of cases, FSHD muscle i

nvolvement starts in the face and slowly progresses to the shoulder and upper-arm muscles, then moving down to the abdominal and foot-extensor muscles. The support of our community is crucial to give hope to families affected by FSHD around the world.

Happy ! We're excited to share another step towards better treatments for FSHD ๐Ÿ’ช!

FSHD Global Research Foundation has invested in ArmatusBio, a US-based biotech developing precision RNA therapies for neuromuscular disorders.
Their lead therapy, ARM-201, targets DUX4 โ€” the primary driver of FSHD. Preclinical studies have shown promising results, including effective silencing of DUX4 and improvements in neuromotor function.

Armatus Bio is now scaling towards clinical studies โ€” and weโ€™re proud to support this next stage of development.

FSHD Global backs multiple scientific approaches because we know there is unlikely to be one solution for everyone living with FSHD. More research = More approaches = More hope for the FSHD community!
