Well done Selina!!

Spurred on by having to catch that flight later?! Well done

Good luck Selina!

Reducing DNA repair protein levels targets root cause of Huntington’s

The UK DRI's Profs Sarah Tabrizi & Gabriel Balmus have taken major steps forward in advancing Huntington's genetic therapies👏

The new study lays the foundation for future clinical trials targeting a DNA repair protein 👉 buff.ly/4aVcMsN

YouTube video by CBC News Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Thanks also to @ucl.ac.uk and @uclqsion.bsky.social for support and great to work with @nicolahobbs.bsky.social @drmichelaleocadi.bsky.social @profgeraintrees.bsky.social @ajh1269.bsky.social @profwild.bsky.social and all my colleagues not yet on BlueSky!

Our paper in Nature Medicine is out today! Great working with @drmfarag.bsky.social & the YAS team (researchers and participants) to identify biomarkers that pave the way for preventative trials in Huntington's Disease. Thanks to @wellcometrust.bsky.social and CHDI for funding. tinyurl.com/3fde9mth
