Description
Becky and Nick are joined by Dr Brian Dickie, Director of Research Development at the MND Association. In this episode Brian takes a look at some of the questions frequently asked by the MND community and explores some of the research behind these key topics. Professor Martin Turner, Consultant Neurologist and Co-Director of the Oxford MND Care and Research Centre, gives an insight into genetics and MND and Dani, who is living with the disease, shares her experiences of taking part in a clinical trial. As mentioned in the podcast, the MND Association is currently funding over 80 research grants.
