With UK Dementia Research Institute, we're funding a first-in-class gene therapy targeting a root cause of motor neuron disease: gene errors caused by TDP-43 dysfunction. This new treatment aims to correct faulty gene messages and deliver long-lasting treatment in a single dose.


We're calling on government, regulators, industry, academia, the NHS and patient groups to act together and #ChangeTheRareFuture for people living with rare conditions in the UK. Read the report here - lifearc.org/rd-report/ Genetic Alliance UK


This morning, we've gathered with over 100 policy makers, charity, academic, clinical and industry partners, and patient experts to talk about our new report with Genetic Alliance UK, and how we can accelerate rare disease research and development in the UK. #ChangeTheRareFuture
