As someone who has personally experienced the devastating impact of Sporadic CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease) through the loss of my mum, our I felt a deep commitment to contribute to the Cure CJD campaign at the Institute of Neurology's MRC Prion Unit. In this spirit, I volunteered to create an informative animation promoting a promising new treatment called PRN-100 to the public and potential investors.
I had the honour of presenting the animation at the Institute of Neurology's MRC Prion Unit's annual conference. Speaking to an audience of 150 attendees, including esteemed Members of Parliament, I had the opportunity to highlight the importance of PRN-100 and the urgent need to advance it in the fight against CJD.
The animation garnered wider recognition when it was featured in a BBC Two documentary titled "Mad Cow Disease: The Great British Beef Scandal." Its inclusion in the documentary provided an invaluable platform to raise awareness about CJD and the groundbreaking research being conducted at the Institute of Neurology.
By leveraging animation and media exposure, I aimed to support the Cure CJD campaign's mission to increase public understanding, build support, and attract potential investors to accelerate PRN-100 development.
