Great to see our ENS gene therapy paper in Science Translational Medicine featured WashU Medicine WashU Medicine Pediatrics WashU Medicine Medical Genetics

Looking forward to WORLDSymposia on Lysosomal Diseases 2025 starting tomorrow. Ewa Ziółkowska (PSDL postdoc) has won a very well-deserved Young Investigator Award and will present her work on dysphagia (swallowing problems) #battendisease

Looking forward to seeing Lysosomal Diseases colleagues and friends WORLDSymposia 2025 starting tomorrow! #battendisease #mps

Pleased to share the latest pre-print from the PSDL highlighting enteric and neuromuscular disease & myopathy in CLN3 mice treated by gene therapy. From talented PSDL postdoc Ewa Ziółkowska Heuckeroth Lab Alison SnyderWarwick ForeBatten Foundation #battendisease biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fantastic presentation by PSDL postdoc Ewa Ziółkowska #battendisease WORLDSymposia #proudPI



Congratulations to all these talented Young Investigators. A special mention for Dr. Ewa Ziółkowska (PSDL). She won this award for a project she devised herself, inspired by Batten families telling her of the swallowing problems their children have BDSRA Foundation family conference

Greatly looking forward WashU Medicine 's Rare Disease Day Symposium tomorrow. Some great speakers covering pre-clinical, translational and clinical research, but most importantly advocacy groups too #RareDiseaseDay (but a week earlier!)



We are honored and delighted to be among the recipients of the inaugural BDGRI Research Grant round! Very grateful to all including funding partners Anthony Ferrandino drewshope.com Tracy VanHoutan BDSRA Foundation BDFA #BattenResearch




I can confirm that Patricia Dickson is indeed a VERY fine scientist. Her work, insight and expertise speak far louder than any mere qualification! Delighted to work with you Patti! WashU Medicine Pediatrics WashU Medicine Medical Genetics

Great to see Erika here WashU Medicine today & have the chance to discuss all things Batten disease with her this afternoon. There's great value in combining pre-clinical & clinical perspectives to learn from each other to better help affected families #battendisease #NCL
