CGD RT welcomes new medical panel members
Our Medical and Scientific panel play a big role in deciding where our hard earned income should be spent for research into causes, treatment and cure for CGD. We will welcome in 2008 four new members to our panel and they will advise us for a term of three to five years. All the new members offer specialised knowledge and sit on many other eminent review panels. Each member gives up their valuable time for free reading and assessing all the grant proposals we receive. Our next grant round will open in June 2008 with awards taken up in early 2009.
Professor Maggie Dallman, of Imperial College London sits on both Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust review panels and is an expert in immunology and graft versus host disease, a complication that can occur in bone marrow transplants.
Professor Tom Rogers, is an expert in fungal infections and the development of new anti-fungal treatments and is Head of Academic Department of Clinical Microbiology in Trinity College Dublin based at St James's Hospital.
Professor Dirk Roos, of the Sanquin Research Centre in Amsterdam is a biochemist and has been involved in CGD research for the last 30 years. His laboratory carries out mutational analysis studies on samples from people with CGD from all over the world in order to precisely pinpoint which part of the CGD proteins are affected. His research has been devoted to understanding how these proteins work and what exactly the effects of the mutations are. He also sits on the CGD Registry Committee for the European Society for Immunodeficiency Diseases.
Professor Adriano Rossi, is an expert in neutrophil biology, the cell type affected in CGD, and in inflammation. He is involved in developing novel therapies for the treatment of chronic inflammation at the MRC Centre for Inflammation Research at the Queen’s Medical Research Institute at the University of Edinburgh.
