THE CHRONIC DISEASE RESEARCH FOUNDATION

The CDRF, an independent medical research charity, funds a range of research programs that aim to discover the cause of common chronic diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, migraine, asthma, dementia. The CDRF runs many projects at the Department of Twin Research, St Thomas' Hospital. It is hoped the research will contribute to the development of future diagnostic tests and treatments.
