"Combatting MSA together, until the world is free of MSA"
Who We Are
National MSA Research was founded on October 2, 2024, following the diagnosis of Directors Kieran and Nathan's father with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). The diagnosis came as a shock to the family, who were previously unaware of the condition. Initial research revealed limited information regarding effective treatments or a cure.
In response to the scarcity of MSA support services in Australia, Kieran along side with two directors founded National MSA Research, In March 2025 the board of directors welcomed Nathan to the board
