Thanks Genetic Alliance UK for hosting the #RareDiseaseDay2025 Westminster Reception!🙌CJD Support Network UK member Alice & committee member Andrew (spot them?🤣) connected with MPs on key prion disease issues. Proud moment! Joined here by Peter Dowd MP & Prof Collinge MRC Prion Unit at UCL Institute of Prion Diseases The Cure CJD Campaign

Great to connect with Ashley Dalton MP at Westminster Rare Disease Day Parliamentary Reception yesterday on key issues for the prion disease community. Pictured with Andrew CJD Support Network UK & Prof John Collinge MRC Prion Unit at UCL Institute of Prion Diseases... Looking forward to staying in touch! #RareDiseaseDay 💛

Looking forward to staying in touch! 💛☕️

We are pleased to hear that @DHSC is willing to receive proposals and fund projects. Despite investment CJD remains no approved treatment - we hope they'll continue to communicate with MRC Prion Unit at UCL Institute of Prion Diseases and others to ensure continued support and further progress for our community 💛

Ashley Dalton MP responded that The Department is working closely with NHS England on future funding for CJD diagnostic services. The Department also works closely with Medical Research Council to align funding for priority research, and has met specifically with MRC Prion Unit at UCL Institute of Prion Diseases recently...(2/3)

We hope to see applications from specialist centres lie MRC Prion Unit at UCL Institute of Prion Diseases and others being funded to make real progress for our community 💛 (3/3)

Today we opened the lab to ten children from the neighbouring school. They watched our robots, peered into the BSL3 labs, looked down a fluorescence microscope and learned about prions and science careers. Extraordinarily bright questions and attentive they were a delight to host

Today is the open day of the MRC Prion Unit at UCL and National Prion Clinic. We look forward to welcoming visitors for lectures, tours, demos and small group sessions. Updates from The Cure CJD Campaign and CJD Support Network UK thanks!

If you want some great mentorship in structural biology, to work on exciting novel labelling systems as well as one of the most unqiue pathogens out there - come work with us!

We developed a new siRNA drug candidate for prion disease, a Broad Institute / RNA Therapeutics Institute collaboration. We now have an open IND meaning FDA has given us permission to start first-in-human trials. Work remains before trials can launch. The full update: cureffi.org/2025/04/14/ope…
