Gene discovery and pathobiology in muscle diseases [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Gianina Ravenscroft (Principal investigator)

Brief description I aim to find the genetic causes of muscle diseases that are lethal or severely debilitating. These diseases result in a significant burden to the affected individuals and their families and also on Australia’s Health care system. A genetic diagnosis provides families with answers, allows family planning, such that couples do not have another affected child, enables appropriate clinical management and gives researchers evidence as to how to develop treatments.
