Your brain has the potential to be an invaluable gift to research and in recognition of 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we want to share about the opportunity to extend your legacy to future generations scientific research through The Brain Donor Project. For the past few years, the RLS Foundation has worked closely with agency leaders to consolidate the process of proper identification of RLS brain donations for research insight that may ultimately lead to developing more effective treatments and potentially a cure. 🔗 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭: https://lnkd.in/evrxQcZJ

For the second year, the NR2F1 Foundation has an incredible team of athletes riding in this years Million Dollar Bike Ride on Saturday June 8. We are very excited that BBSOAS Sidelle and Leo will also be joining the team! Sidelle will ride with her mom, Carlie and Leo will ride with his mom, Megan. We are raising funds to support our mission to empower families living with rare NR2F1 gene variants through education, advocacy, and research. This year we need to raise a minimum of $205,000 to fund our research roadmap projects and operating costs. What's in our research roadmap? 3 Post Doctoral researchers to work alongside our lead scientists to exclusively research NR2F1 and BBSOAS for 3 years, in US, France and Germany A NR2F1 ‘New Investigator’ grant. Attract junior researchers to research the NR2F1 gene Develop a new BBSOAS mouse model Discovery of BBSOAS Biomarkers Who are the dream team riding?

🌟 Meet SVI Rising Star Award Recipient: Dr Kate Firipis Dr Kate Firipis is a tissue engineer, with extensive cellular and biomaterial experience. Kate is working to bioengineer skin that can be used to heal complex wounds in SVI's Vascular Biology Lab. According to Kate, investigating the unknown is a great challenge. Why does our body work the way it does and how can we improve quality of life? "Chronic wounds impact thousands of people’s daily lives. We’re pursuing a lab grown skin to heal the body with its own cells." "I’m very excited to investigate lab grown human skin that responds to touch. Many patients require replacement skin tissue due to cancer, trauma or chronic wounds. Growing skin in the lab would reduce the need to take skin flaps which create a secondary wound site." #SVI #StVincentsInstitute #Fundraising #Medical #Research #MedicalResearch #Donation #NFP #notforprofit

As marketers within the biotech space, we often find ourselves filled with wonder as we learn more about innovations and breakthroughs in sequencing technologies, immuno-oncology, targeted therapies, spatial biology, and other realms where our clients are making an impact. We recently connected with SciAll.org, a nonprofit organization that aims to create an inclusive space where individuals can embrace and celebrate their STEM identity. There’s a scientist within each of us, and we’re helping SciAll reach and inspire more young minds.

Join the 2024 SRF Research Challenge to support research like Dr. Flynn's! Dr. Ryan Flynn (Harvard University, Boston Children's Hospital) shares information about his SRF-funded research project, Cell Surface GlycoRNAs in Autoimmunity, and how it could help people living with scleroderma. Your support of innovative research like Dr. Flynn's, and other projects funded by the SRF, helps advance our understanding of this disease. By joining this year's Research Challenge, you'll be a part of the next era of breakthroughs that could end scleroderma. Will you help us accelerate the pace of research so that we can one day end this disease? The best part is that when you make a gift to our Research Challenge, you’ll unlock a matching donation dollar-for-dollar*, thanks to the generosity of two families who, like you, are committed to finding a cure. Double your impact today: https://bit.ly/3RWrUOo P. S. Special thanks to our Research Challenge match donors—Board Members Luke Evnin (Chairman) and Deann Wright, and the Schimberg Family Foundation—for doubling the impact of your gift! *Up to $75,000 through July 31, 2024. #srfcure #sayscleroderma #sclerodermaresearch #scleroderma

It's the last day of #Sarcoma month, but the fight to find new and better treatments for one of the deadliest #Cancers primarily affecting #Children continues.🧑🏽🔬 We're excited to announce a new program, #SarcomaAccelerator, funded by the Hofer Muir Philanthropic Organisation together with the Cooper Rice-Brading Foundation. 🙌 For the next two years Prof Ron Firestein, A/Prof Jason Cain and their team will create a collection of #Tumour samples from sarcoma patients and use cutting-edge technology to study these them. “By understanding the unique characteristics of each tumour, we can develop targeted therapies that are more likely to be effective. This approach has the potential to improve survival rates and quality of life for young patients living with sarcoma.” A/Prof Cain Read more about how we expect this new program to be a game-changer in the fight against childhood sarcoma here: https://bit.ly/3AdTU9V L-R; Dr Yuxin (Sally) Sun, A/Prof Jason Cain, Dr Claire Sun, Prof Ron Firestein
