Motor Neurone Disease (MND) affects up to 5,000 adults in the UK at one time. A person's lifetime risk of developing MND is up to 1 in 300. This debilitating disease, which affects the brain and spinal chord, attacks the nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work. There is currently no cure.
Join Dr Tobias Moll to explore his MND research and how genetic discoveries are helping to identify new treatments to combat MND.
