DRPLA Research

[Beryl_Park]

Since DRPLA is more prevalent in Japan, as part of our work with CureDRPLA we have made it a priority to build connections with the scientific and clinical community there. On July 22, Dr Silvia Prades welcomed Dr Jiro Ezaki to the Ataxia UK office in London. Dr Ezaki is a Deputy Director at Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, and has been a key contact for the DRPLA Research Programme. He has connected us with scientists and clinicians in Japan, helping to strengthen our international collaborations.
