Very proud to be part of the #RareDisease and #mito community. My goal is to obtain a genetic diagnosis for families who need one. Supported by NIHR as a Career Development Fellow, I am so proud of our work, the diagnoses we have established and I am sure there are many more to come. #ResolveVUS 🎉

Today is #RareDiseaseDay

Did you know there's still no cure for #mitochondrialdisease?

@lilyfoundation.bsky.social are fighting to change this. We've invested over £3 million in research since 2007

Please help us to raise awareness of mito
