Good news from a research project that we co-funded via the @HRCIreland/@hrbireland Joint Funding Scheme. This makes donations to MSD research go much further than you might imagine! More to come on this wonder piece of research prnewswire.com/news-releases/…









A very important iPSC neuron poster presented @WORLDSymposia by @margaretmcass of @CHOP_Research. Thank you Margaret & the co-authors for this work including @AhrensNicklas for being a wonderful mentor. This excellent work is really important for translational research on MSD.

@Vi_Pham20 presents some amazing results on ex vivo gene therapy for MSD. This was co-funded by @hrbireland & MSD Action Foundation @ the @AhrensNicklas & Rivella labs at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Vi was awarded with a very prestigious young investigators award also👏



Thanks to all involved in this effort @DonnellyStephen @HSELive @roinnslainte This is only part of the solution tho… we need newborn screening for MLD for this treatment to be of any use. A great step forward today 👍😉❤️@RareDiseasesIE @IPPOSI
