Teaching and meeting room of the Cemcat Foundation

Fundació Privada Cemcat

The Cemcat Foundation is a response to the need to promote research and teaching in the field of multiple sclerosis and other degenerative diseases of the nervous system.

The Cemcat Foundation was set up to raise funds dedicated to research, to deliver more specialist training allowing professionals to be better prepared to diagnose and treat the disease, and to promote specific collaboration partnerships in these branches of research and teaching.

About multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease affecting the central nervous system, and which is mainly diagnosed in young adults (aged between 20 and 40). The disease takes different forms, and evolves differently in each individual. Over recent years there has been considerable progress in our understanding of it, and the search for drugs to manage the symptoms and progress of the disease.

For the moment, though, the condition has no cure. There is still a great deal to learn, and there are forms of sclerosis that have no drugs to address them.

Clinical research at the Multiple Sclerosis Centre of Catalonia

Research and teaching are the cornerstones of the Multiple Sclerosis Centre of Catalonia (Cemcat), and have an impact on the care offered to patients.
