The Australian Mitochondrial Disease Foundation is delighted to award its first two Incubator Grants. One grant will facilitate Professor Justin St John's research into preventing the transmission of mutant mitochondrial DNA from mother to child. The second grant will fund Dr Matthew McKenzie's work in generating new mouse models of mitochondrial DNA disease that will provide tissue samples on which mitochondrial function can be studied. These inaugural grants form part of the pilot Incubator Grant programme.
Both these projects involve novel areas of research, which AMDF hopes will reveal invaluable information in the fight against mitochondrial disease.
