SHU press release<\/em><\/p>\n

Sheffield Hallam University\u2019s Dr Susan Campbell<\/strong> has been awarded a grant of more than \u00a3189,000 from Great Ormond Street Hospital Children\u2019s Charity,<\/strong> and Sparks<\/strong>, the children\u2019s medical research charity, to fund research into the advancement of treatment of Vanishing White Matter Disease (VWMD).<\/p>\n

The grant is part of a \u00a32.1 million investment into child health research projects across the UK led by the two charities – the largest annual charitable call dedicated to funding research into child health conditions.<\/p>\n

Dr Campbell, senior lecturer in biosciences, will investigate whether monitoring the specific distribution pattern of molecules affected in VWMD could pave the way to faster, less invasive diagnosis and treatments for this rare and devastating brain condition where brain cells are damaged and depleted.<\/p>\n

Dr Campbell said: \u201cI am delighted to have received funding from GOSH Charity and Sparks which will enable us to further our research to help children with this disease. It\u2019s fantastic to know that these charities are making such a large amount available for child health researchers across the UK to bid for each year.\u201d<\/p>\n

This project is a collaborative project between Dr Campbell and Dr Liz Allen, senior lecturer in biomedical science, within the University’s Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre.\u00a0The project is a development of a PhD carried out by Rachel Hodgson at Sheffield Hallam with Rachel also acting as lead researcher on the grant.<\/p>\n

The project will also involve collaborations with The University of Sheffield, VU University in The Netherlands, University of Leeds and University of Cambridge.<\/p>\n

Kiki Syrad, director of grants and impact at Great Ormond Street Hospital Children\u2019s Charity, said: \u201cWe were delighted to receive a large number of high-quality applications from the UK paediatric research community on a range of diseases. For many children, research is their only hope. We look forward to seeing how Dr Campbell\u2019s project progresses, and the call re-opening later in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project reflects the ambition of both GOSH Charity and Sparks to drive new tests and therapies from the lab bench to the patient\u2019s bedside, speeding up the diagnosis and treatment of rare and complex conditions.<\/div>\n
