Baseline

Baseline is the steady/consistent rate of MND progression. Baseline measurements are used in clinical trials to set a persons rate of progression before any treatment is given. This is important when observing if a treatment improves or worsens progression.

I work in the Research Development team at the MND Association as a Senior Research Co-ordinator. I completed my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science and I became very interested in neuroscience throughout my degree. Following on from this, I did a Master’s degree in Molecular Medicine, with a focus on gene therapies. As part of my role, I identify interesting updates in MND research and communicate these via the blog in an understandable and engaging way.
