Congratulations to our Scientific Advisor, Dr. Qinglan Ling on receiving a 1-million-dollar award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for MT-APT6 Leigh syndrome research!
Dr. Ling said: " I have been involved in the gene therapy research for the SURF1 Leigh syndrome project, initiated by a family foundation, Cure Mito Foundation, for over four years while being a postdoctoral trainee at Dr. Steven Gray's lab at UT Southwestern in Dallas, TX. Being inspired by the families, especially their passion and dedication, I wanted to make my efforts to further fulfill their mission. I am honored to receive this opportunity from the NIH to be able to continue contributing to the mitochondrial disease community while assembling my own research team."
Cure Mito Foundation is extremely proud and excited for Dr. Ling and the research she is conducting for Leigh syndrome.
