Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive and high impact clinical trial options for our ataxia patients while aggressively moving the field of ataxia towards meaningful treatments and potential cures. We offer ongoing natural history, imaging, biomarker, and therapeutic trials in pediatric and adult forms of ataxia with extensive clinical trial expertise and friendly and responsive clinical trial coordinators and support staff available to make the experience easy and accessible for our patients. The infrastructure for such efforts at UF includes the dedicated Norman Fixel Center clinic, the Clinical Translational Research Building (CTRB) with capabilities for research only visits and the Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (AMRIS) facility capable of performing research level MR scanning procedures with expert guidance from physicists.
