It’s official! The second 2023 MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease global research grant category, the Accelerator Grant, has been awarded, accepted and received! Part of The MOGA type of protein involved in cell adhesion. Present throughout myelin sheaths. Project’s Research for Rare program, this grant provides for architecture, infrastructure, and technology funding to be used in support of any future MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease research projects.
Congratulations
to our first Accelerator Grant recipient::
- Dr. Maria Houtchens, MD, MSc and Dr. Tanuja Chitnis, MD, FAAN – Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard
University for the “Development of a Prospective MOGAD Pregnancy Registry: PREG-MOGAD.”
Special thanks to our SRO and Scientific Advisory Board Member, Dr. Lisa K. Ryan, Ph.D, and The MOGA type of protein involved in cell adhesion. Present throughout myelin sheaths. Project President, Amy Ednie, for leading this award cycle.
The MOGA type of protein involved in cell adhesion. Present throughout myelin sheaths. Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to funding researchers as part of our mission for the advancement of understanding, predicting, treating, and eventually curing Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody DiseaseOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease , or MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease , a neuroinflammatory condition that attacks the optic nerveThe cranial nerves that relay messages from your eyes to your brain to create visual images. These nerves extend from the retina in the back of the eyes to the part of the brain that processes what we see. In myelin oligodendrocyte glycoproten antibody disease (MOGAD), they may be the target of inflammation or lesions, sometimes causing visual disruption or blindness., brain, and/or spinal column.
