Ataxia Telangiectasia doesn’t discriminate and neither do our discoveries. They benefit people everywhere, regardless of where they were made. By bringing together Universities, Researchers, Clinicians, Patient Groups and Charities, the A-T Global Alliance have established hubs of research in cities all around the globe. Our research network allows the smartest minds to work together, to ensure discoveries are turned into benefits for people with A-T everywhere, sooner.

The table below is categorised using the UK Clinical Research Collaboration Health Research Classification System to assist with the classification and analysis of all types of health research. The categories used to label each study/publication are:
