FRAXA Research Foundation is a national nonprofit organization focused on Fragile X syndrome, a genetic condition linked to autism and intellectual disabilities. The foundation directly funds research grants and fellowships at universities worldwide and collaborates with biomedical and pharmaceutical companies to translate scientific discoveries into potential treatments. Its broader aim is to advance the understanding and treatment of Fragile X, with the expectation that progress may also inform efforts related to autism, Alzheimer’s disease, and other brain disorders. Based in Newburyport, Massachusetts, FRAXA was founded in 1994 by parents of children with Fragile X and operates as a charitable organization dedicated to supporting scientific research, aiding affected families, and raising awareness of the disorder. In recent years, FRAXA has engaged in partnerships to test experimental therapies in preclinical models, reflecting its role in bridging research and therapeutic development.
