So proud of Dr Cathryn Haigh, affectionately known as ‘Our Cath’ as she worked with our researchers in Australia for many years before becoming a senior researcher at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, USA.
Cath contributes the start of this work to a donation made via the CJDSGN as seed money by Mr Graham Murray of AACS Pty Ltd in memory of his daughter Silva Coelho who died of CJD at age 39 in 2009.
Graham has also funded a number of grants and memorial awards as well as travel award that assist students and young researchers to attend International Prion conference.
The CJDSGN is very proud and grateful of the support that families provide from their fundraising efforts and memorial donations enabling the CJDSGN to assist our researchers so far by providing 1.2 million in funding support.
We certainly are a CJD family community working together towards a treatment or cure.
