🚀 The Longitude Prize on ALS is now live!

I’m proud to be working on the data side of this £7.5M global prize, helping shape one of the most comprehensive ALS datasets ever.

Calling on innovators across #AI, #biotech, and #ALS/#MND research to help us transform how we discover treatments for ALS.

ALS Awareness Day 2025

ALS Awareness Day 2025

🧠This #ALSAwarenessDay, we recognise those living with #ALS and #MND, their families, and those working tirelessly to find a solution.

There’s currently no cure or long-term treatment — but that doesn’t mean progress isn’t possible.

Follow us for some exciting news next week!

Hello, Bluesky! I’ve finally followed the migration wave—hooray for my first post! Expect a mix of science content, particularly on neuroscience and neurodegeneration, and how AI and data-driven innovation can help tackle complex health challenges. Oh, and maybe a few rants about life along the way!
