BARNSLEY-BORN doctor Selina Wray has been granted more than £400,000 of new funding to continue her groundbreaking stem cell study to develop new treatments for dementia.
Dr Wray, who works at University College London, is investigating how a protein that builds up in the brain in Alzheimer’s causes damage to brain cells and leads to the devastating symptoms of the disease.
The funding has been awarded by Alzheimer’s Research UK - which has previously supported Dr Wray’s research earlier in her career - and was announced on World Alzheimer’s Day on Wednesday.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
