All of us in our #mnd #als community should follow MND Research - it is the new research account of the MND Association If you followed their old one please consider following their new one. It has excellent updates and posts.

This afternoon we have been joined by the whole #MND #ALS community. We’re kicking off with the lightning talks. ⚡️ The early career researchers are sharing their #MND #ALS researcher in an understandable and engaging way. #MNDEnCouRageUK

The development of tofersen for the treatment for #SOD1 #MND #ALS has brought genetic MND to centre stage. 🧬 At #MNDEnCouRageUK Prof Martin Turner gave an overview of the genetics around MND. He mentioned the importance of having the choice of genetic testing and counselling.

Wow. #MNDEnCouRageUK was incredible. We are incredibly proud of the early career researchers who got stuck in, took feedback on board and gave brilliant talks. Thanks to the #MND #ALS community for spending time with us and reinforcing why research matters. See you next

A massive thank you to all of the presenters who helped make #MNDEnCouRageUK so incredible. 👏 Simon Hall David Taylor Kristiana Salmon *#ScottAllen Prof Janine Kirby Ammar Al-Chalabi Dr Caroline Vance Paul Wright LifeArc Martyn Barrow anna barrow Kevin Talbot, Martin Turner,

🚨New publication🚨Clinicopathological analysis of NEK1 variants in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We show that NEK1 loss of function can either be mediated through loss of NEK1 translation or through aggregation of NEK1 protein (p.Arg261His mutation). doi.org/10.1111/bpa.13…

In the last 10 years MND Association research portfolio has almost trebled to over £21 million. A key part of our portfolio is translational research – which seeks to bridge the gap between lab research and clinical trials. Find out more in our new report ⬇️ mndassociation.org/research/count…

Pls read to learn more on how MND Association co-funds UK MND Research Institute's translational research programme. Institute was launched after successful #United2EndMND campaign by Patients United2EndMND, charities & leading UK research scientists.

"By investing in these talented individuals, we are investing in a cure for MND – one of the people in the room could go on to find the key we all desperately want." We were blown away by the passion and dedication of the #MND #ALS community who attended #MNDEnCouRageUK last

Excellent paper from MND Association showing importance of translational science for #als #mnd especially at this juncture in Research.
