Thanks to a record-breaking MND research grants round of over 40 applications from researchers around the world, we’ve got a busy year ahead! We’ll be reviewing all of these applications and deciding which should be funded to help us achieve our vision of a world free from MND.

We are currently preparing for our Biomedical Research Advisory Panel (BRAP) meeting in April. This panel of MND research experts, along with Association trustees, discusses each application in detail. They then decide whether the research is good enough to be funded by the Association and fits within our research strategy.

Our panel are a bit like the ‘strictly come dancing’ judging panel, all with their own personalities and interests, judging which MND research application is the best and deserves to go on to be funded!

I work as a Research Officer within the MND Association to help organise the International Symposium and communicating the latest updates of MND research across our social media platforms. I graduated with a master's degree in Neuroscience from Cardiff University in 2023. I have previously supported the awareness of Fragile X syndrome within the UK.
