Work like this would struggle to go ahead without funding from the wonderful organisation that is @MedResFdn, who support vital research in underfunded areas.
Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is a rare disease that can trigger #dementia in children. Previous Emerging Leaders Prize winner @HuntLabEdin recently co-led a study, funded in part by @MedResFdn, that could lead to new treatments for this condition. bit.ly/3LQdjjM @UKDRI
