Congratulations to the Ding Lab on receiving a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This is the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Exploratory Neuroscience Research Grant. The project aims to determine the pathogenesis of childhood-onset DYT1 dystonia in patient-specific neurons that are generated by direct conversion and iPSC-based reprogramming and differentiation.
