We are proud to be awarded a Perpetual 2020 IMPACT Philanthropy grant funded by the Laurence G & Jean E Brown Charitable Trust, enabling the establishment of Australia’s first biobank for Prader-Willi syndrome, the Australian Chromosome 15 Biobank.
On behalf of families living with Prader-Willi syndrome in Australia and around the world, the team at the Prader-Willi Research Foundation Australia want to thank the Laurence G. & Jean E. Brown Charitable Trust for their $65,500 grant to establish this biobank. It will create insight into how genetic changes link to physical, intellectual and behavioural challenges for people with PWS and potential therapeutic pathways.
Given the IMPACT grant has stiff competition from the best of Australian researchers, we are honoured to have been selected.
