Our Scientific Advisory Board
We collaborate with Duchenne UK, another UK leading charity led by two mums of children living with Duchenne. We co-fund projects together and all projects we fund have been reviewed by an extensive Scientific Advisory Board made up of some of the world’s experts in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (see list below). They bring with them a wide range of essential skills and knowledge bases, including scientific, clinical and drug discovery & development. When scientists come to us with their ideas for new research projects, it is the SAB who apply their experience and expertise to test these ideas, helping to refine them if necessary, in order that we can make informed decisions on funding. We want to fund great science – projects that can improve our knowledge base, treatments that can reach the clinic and improve the lives of people with DMD – our SAB is a crucial part of this work.
