Eurofins Genomics is proud to donate on behalf of the Eurofins Foundation to the NCL Foundation’s research project “Dissecting the CLN3 function”. It has been found that Batten disease in children is linked to a mutated CLN3 gene. The provided funding supports the development of a CLN3 assay for a proposal at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). This would form the basis to implement an approved diagnostics tool for Battens disease. To achieve that, the charity organization is now able to create a PhD position that focuses exclusively on the research of the Battens disease. Dr. Emyr Lloyd-Evans will oversee the research and the newly created position will be part of his team.
