We are very proud to support such world-class, promising research right here in our region. Further details on the successful projects and research teams are now posted on our website at https://bdsraaustralia.org/research

BDSRA Australia would like to thank the Beyond Batten Disease Foundation for partnering with us to co-fund Prof. Cook's grant this year.

A special thanks also to our international Grant Review Panel for their time and expertise, and to all of our wonderful donors and supporters - without your generosity, this research would not be possible.
