Funded Activity Summary

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a group of fatal adult-onset diseases affecting the neurons that relay signals from the brain to muscles. The incidence of MND is rapidly increasing due to the ageing population and a diagnosis of MND comes with a prognosis of paralysis and 2-5 years survival. The diagnosis process is lengthy, and even after MND is confirmed, there are no effective therapeutics. This research project aims to develop new therapeutic and diagnostic options for MND.
