The Myelin Project headquarters is in Washington, D.C., the location of NIH and other sophisticated research facilities, and one of the world's principal centres for medical research. The Myelin Project includes nine branches located in the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, France and Spain.

Inspired by the great projects of the past (eg Project Apollo) which used a motivated time-conscious approach to attain specific goals, the Project has set up a Work Group from among the top international laboratories specialising in myelin repair. The Work Group includes researchers from:

• Collège de France
• Hopital de la Salpêtrière
• Institute Pasteur, Paris
• Istituto Superiore della Sanità, Rome
• Mayo Clinic
• Max Planck Institute, Germany
• Medical University of South Carolina
• Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York
• Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario
• University of Cambridge, UK
• University of North Dakota
• University of Wisconsin, Madison
• Yale University
• Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona

Project resources target clinically oriented experiments on the cutting-edge of remyelination research.
Thus far, the Myelin Project has financed 42 experiments for a total in excess of $4.7Million(US). The Myelin Project stands alone in funding the cost of our first human trials, this has proved to be more expensive than first envisaged.
Many other researchers are submitting additional experiment proposals for this year. In order to finance the experiments, the Project needs additional funding.
