 The Hereditary Disease Foundation has been instrumental in enabling me as a young investigator and grantee of the institution to move forward my particular research project. It's also a fantastic group to be a part of because as an investigator I'm able to meet the people who've done the seminal work in the field in identifying the Huntington gene as well as to meet with and collaborate with new young scientists and doing some up-and-coming research on HD. And I've been interested in the field of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases for a decade and I'm really enjoying my time working on HD because this foundation in particular frames everything with a historical perspective and an emphasis on patient care and moving things into the clinic that I find very exciting and I'm looking forward to working with them more in the future.
