NEW: Oxford researchers have identified a key biochemical mechanism relevant to the development of Huntington’s Disease. This discovery opens up the possibility of studying the disease before its clinical onset and eventually stopping its progression ⬇️ ox.ac.uk/news/2024-10-2…

We're proud to announce Dr. Zanna Voysey as a 2024 HDBuzz Prize winner! She shares a new study that details racial disparities in HD care and research. Addressing this could improve the lives of people living with HD in the here-and-now. #medical #hdsa #… ift.tt/PeTy0Ab

Greater awareness of the safeguarding needs of people who may self-neglect due to neurodegenerative or mental health illness is crucial. Also the impact on carers and children .

@sarahmdonnelly1 looks at complex sensitive issue of carer harm. Noting that language is problematic, awareness is poor and there are competing rights at play.

“The #neuromapping project phase two research puts the focus on service users age services providers The sad reality is that there has historically been underfunding. Services must be designed around the needs of the user and their families.”@AnneRabbitte

Ireland is too dependent on other country’s science and technology. It desperately needs to raise its embarrassingly low investment in universities and research if we are to maintain our wealth. It could disappear in a flash. This is urgent @Paschald @tcdTBSI @tcddublin

Irish unis are behind due to poor staff/student ratio and infrastructure. Ireland is last in education funding in OECD out of 34 ‘fell most in Ireland Latvia and Mexico’. Can’t continue if Ireland is to be competitive. We are letting a generation down. oecd.org/en/publication…

We welcome commitment in #budget2025 to fund #raredisease strategy development, implementation of strategy, newborn screening, genetics & genomics, organ transplant and new medicines. First time in memory that rare diseases are called out in budget. Devil is in the detail now...

We'll ensure patients continue to have access to new medicines, we're committed to making things better for those with rare diseases and ensure we continue to enhance organ donation.
