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

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
