SAHMRI Translation and Impact Award

Posted on December 17, 2018

Congratulations to the team from the Childhood Dementia Research Group (CDRG) at SAHMRI, who received the Translation and Impact Award at this year’s SAHMRI Awards night. Their project investigated a novel gene therapy-based treatment for the childhood-onset neurodegenerative disorder Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare genetic condition where the median age of death is 17 years and there is currently no approved treatment. As a result of the study, the CDRG’s Industry partner have initiated a multi-national Phase II/III human clinical trial of the therapy in children with Sanfilippo syndrome.

This is a fantastic achievement for one of our partner organisations, and a wonderful example of how the translational research being conducted in South Australia can have worldwide impact. We acknowledge that projects like this are a large team effort and we wish to recognise Group Leader Dr Kim Hemsley, and everyone else involved: Meghan Douglass, Sarah Tamang, Daniel Neumann, Barbara King, Helen Beard, Leanne Winner, Dr Adeline Lau, Dr Marten Snel, Dr Paul Trim, Dorota Gancarz (Quality Manager) and Heather Croucher (Legal Counsel).
