A cure for motor neurone disease could be 'possible', according to an expert, as Doddie Weir's charity unveils its five-year research strategy to give hope to those diagnosed with the condition
A cure for motor neurone disease could be"possible", according to an expert, as a charity launched by a rugby legend unveils its five-year research strategy to give hope to those diagnosed with the condition.
And Professor Ammar Al-Chalabi, director of the MND Research Centre at King's College London, said finding a cure is now a real possibility. "Now a cure is a possibility, although a treatment that dramatically slows MND is more likely. Both are still somewhat in the future." He said:"Research is expensive, however, and My Name'5 Doddie Foundation and other MND charities are crucial in funding it."They drive the cutting-edge stuff that pushes the field forward as well as the important 'slogging away at it' work that is essential to keep everything going.
