About this listen

 You might have heard the exciting news: an undergraduate research team led by Heloise Hoffmann received $50,000 to fund their research into a novel treatment for FSHD. Join Tim for a conversation with Heloise, who lives with FSHD, and Alice as they discuss their unique approach, the varying pace of research, and their nearly two year process to design and fund their project. From patient-focused interviews and endless hours in the lab, the undergrad team at Myoterra Biosciences is dedicated to finding a cure for FSHD as science continues to advance at a breakneck pace.
For more information on Myoterra, read our recent blog post: https://www.fshdsociety.org/2025/04/21/hope-in-the-laboratory/
