In2Research summer placement student Aaliyah presented her research at the Royal Institution as part as the In2Research Celebration Event.
We developed new polyGR and polyPR knock-in mice that developed features of ALS and surprisingly had a neuroprotective extracellular matrix response. An epic effort by lead author Carmelo and many lab members and collaborators including Elizabeth Fisher at UCL.

Adrian gave an update on our latest ALS research to the Packard Center Symposium in Baltimore
We are excited to be presenting at the largest international conference on ALS. Alex will present our exciting new data on lipid dysregulation in ALS and Adrian on FTD/ALS modelling and therapeutics.
