Improving accessibility of bone density scanning for wheelchair users living with muscle wasting conditions
Dr Jarod Wong will lead a study involving people living with muscle wasting conditions and healthcare workers to improve the accessibility and performance of bone density scanning to make monitoring weak bones more straightforward.
AI and MRI: improving the diagnosis of people with muscle wasting conditions
Professor Jordi Diaz-Manera and his team at Newcastle University will enhance the MYO-Guide diagnostic tool they previously developed which brings together the power of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose more muscle wasting conditions with greater accuracy. We supported the development of the MYO-Guide diagnostic tool.
Improving gene therapy for congenital myasthenic syndrome
Dr Yin Dong and his team at the University of Oxford will use a mouse model of congenital myasthenic syndrome to test the efficacy of gene therapy in combination with a standard treatment for this condition.
