Following regarding changes to the regulation for devices to be marketed in the UK, we asked Translational Research Manager Dr Simon Eaglestone, who has represented the 果冻影院 Translational Research Office in various discussions around the new Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) for 2021, to comment on the implications this has for the devices
Dr Ahad Rahim is an Associate Professor of Translational Neuroscience and Associate Director of Research at the 果冻影院 School of Pharmacy. Dr Rahim鈥檚 group works on the development of novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and recently at the end of 2019, received an MRC DPFS grant of 拢654,904 to develop gene therapy for infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD).
Please provide an overview of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) and the need to develop a new therapy.

You may be thinking 拢鈥檚, $鈥檚 or even 鈧�檚? We鈥檙e thinking people 鈥� although one may very well lead to the other.
In rough statistics there are:
In September, Dr Jane Kinghorn appeared in the Week@果冻影院 Spotlight On feature and mentioned an upcoming event with initiatives to support early career researchers. Now that the invite for this event is out, we wanted to reshare the interview with more details about the event and how to taking place on 21st January 2020.
Dr John King and Professor Chris Brewin have recently gained an NIHR i4i Mental Health Challenge Award (an award to develop an innovative technological solution to which will improve the care pathway and outcomes of patients experiencing mental ill-health) for their translational research project, 鈥淭reating depression with self-compassion in virtual reality鈥�. In this interview, they discuss the motivation behind their work and provide an overview of the project which they will be starting this autumn.
Motivated by an unmet medical need, you鈥檝e identified a mechanism that may play a fundamental role in a medical condition that is currently poorly treated. You want to look at possible drug molecules that could modulate the mechanism to see how it might affect this condition 鈥� but how do you take this from an idea to a promising starting point for a new drug treatment?
Welcome to the 果冻影院 Translational Research Office (TRO) Blog!
The articles in this blog will focus on the main challenges in or barriers to translational research 鈥� and how to overcome these in order to achieve successful translation into benefits for patients.
We will also be talking to some of the PI鈥檚 working on translational projects with the support of the 果冻影院 TRO, to demonstrate the scope of translational work taking place at 果冻影院.
