Fantastic news for ALS patients, and a giant leap forward in working towards a cure! #ALS #Tofersen

It was a fantastic night raising vital funds and awareness for #MND as part of FightMND 1st Brisbane Big Freeze! Researchers of the #MNDatUQCollective are dedicated to finding treatments and improving outcomes for those impacted by #MND #ALS

Seeking scientist volunteers! Want to practice science communication and help author a ✨comic✨ about your research? I need collaborators for this spring's cohort of SciComm & Comics art students! Please share widely. #STEMeducation #Science #sciart

ALS is a quick and cruel disease that robs the body of the ability to move. There is no cure, but now there is new hope. Scientists have developed a genetic toolkit that can target the exact nerve cells destroyed by ALS - a discovery that could speed up the quest for a cure.

🧠 The #LongitudePrizeOnALS is now live! This £7.5M challenge invites innovators across #biotech, #AI, and #data science to help accelerate #ALS treatment discovery. Join us in bringing AI to the fight against ALS. Learn more: bit.ly/442yOqy #LPALS #MND

Thanks to the whole team, showcasing all the research at the newly opened centre for MND research #uq_cmndr. Congratulations to Shyuan Ngo 🧠🔬🧫👩🏻‍🍳😻 and Derik Steyn for making their dream reality. Always helping people living with #mnd as priority UQ News

New research from the Centre highlights crucial non-motor symptoms in #MND. This study reveals altered brain activations correlated with loss of appetite, highlighting the non-motor symptoms of the disease and the need for other treatment avenues. academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Hot off the press; a landmark report on the social and economic impact of #MND in Australia, published by MND Australia, in close collaboration with our centre leads a/prof Henderson and a/prof McRae. Every moment matters. mndaustralia.org.au/getmedia/e5df7…
