Supporting a PhD student at King’s College London over 3 years starting in Autumn 2022

Alan Davidson Foundation is delighted to support a PhD student at King’s College London over 3 years starting in Autumn 2022. Part of Dr Jemeen Sreedharan’s team, Leon will focus his research on TDP-43, a complex DNA and RNA binding protein central to the development of MND.

The Foundation has funded neuroscience research at the Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute, part of King’s College London. The Institute brings together 170 clinicians and scientists from many disciplines including: neuroimaging, neurology, psychiatry, genetics, cellular biology and drug discovery to advance understanding of disease and develop new therapies for psychiatric and neurological conditions including MND, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, depression, schizophrenia, epilepsy and stroke.
