Research
ASSERT is fully committed to supporting research projects into Angelman Syndrome and related areas. To date we have supported research into a variety of areas, including:
- Behaviour in AS individuals.
- Stress in parents of AS individuals and the effects of this on the immune system.
- Health and well-being in AS individuals.
- ASSERT’s own research into AS, characteristics and incident rates.
We are always interested in hearing about new research projects relating to Angelman Syndrome and its associated issues, so please feel free to contact us if you feel your research may be of interest to us.
We will in the near future be posting more details of the research we have been involved with on this web site and we trust that you will find this information both informative and helpful.
Dick Barton Research Fund
ASSERT have set aside a small amount of money to be allocated towards funding small research projects which the trustees feel will have direct benefit to families and carers of AS individuals. If you would like to apply for funding for your research, please send details of your research project to the chair of the trustees.
