News, Lectures and Events
In the last five years a number of extremely effective RNA and adeno-associated viral vectors therapies have dramatically improved the outcomes for individuals affected by a range of neurological disorders, mostly affecting children. The focus of this new Centre will be to harness the learning derived from these recent successes, from mechanistic insight discovery, to early and late translational research and eventually regulatory approval, and apply it to a wider group of neurodegenerative disorders. The activities of the Centre will be highly complementary with established activities and expertise in both institutes, including in the Zayed Centre, the Dementia Research Institute, the Sigrid Rausing Neurogenetics Therapies Programme and the two NIHR Biomedical Research Centres translational research programmes (UCLH and GOSH).
