Dr Jane Haley - UK Motor Neuron Disease Research Institute

Dr Jane Haley narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Jane highlights the establishment of the UK MND Research Institute (UK MND RI) as a significant milestone in the pursuit of disease-modifying treatments for motor neuron disease (MND). MND is a devastating condition that rapidly deteriorates physical abilities and has limited treatment options. The UK MND RI aims to bridge the gap between fundamental research and clinical trials, with a focus on diagnostics, biomarker development, therapeutic testing using human-based cell models, and data utilisation. The institute operates through collaboration, bringing together talented researchers and patient campaigners to accelerate progress and ultimately find a cure for MND.
