About FAST
FAST Australia launched in September 2010. Inspired by the mission and energy of FAST in the United States we are driven to address the lack of research and understanding into Angelman syndrome in Australia. Our combined energies create a powerful force in the search for therapeutic interventions and a cure to treat Angelman syndrome.
In an age where Angelman syndrome therapeutics are being developed on a global scale, FAST is working to make sure communities across the world are organized and prepared to participate in studies for potential therapeutics. FAST has affiliates in Canada, France, Italy, Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Colombia), Spain and the UK.
FAST has a vision of a world where lives are no longer limited by a diagnosis of Angelman syndrome.
The mission of the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics Australia is to improve the quality of life for individuals with Angelman syndrome through timely diagnosis, access to best practices in care and treatments, and advancing research for a cure.
