We are so proud of our Research Grant awardees who selflessly dedicate their time to carry out medical research to benefit radiological care for patients. This testimonial from a past grant recipient captures the value and impact that this award provides:
“The funding from the CRF was crucial to develop an innovative research on adult-onset undiagnosed genetic white matter disorders and their overlap with multiple sclerosis titled Neuroradiological, clinical and genetic characterization of new forms of hereditary leukoencephalopathies, which was presented at eleven national and international meetings and published in four major peer-reviewed journals. With the CRF’s support, we have collected and investigated the largest cohort of adult patients with white matter disorders of genetic origin in Canada. Importantly, our study contributed to the creation of an international network of experts interested in white matter diseases, led and coordinated by Dr. Roberta La Piana, which meet regularly to discuss atypical cases. Our team is extremely grateful for the CRF’s continuous support to our research since its very beginning.” – Dr. Donatella Tampieri, Research Grant Award Recipient
