Are you a student or researcher passionate about the future of neurology? The Solution Project Partnership Programme ‘26/27 is officially opening doors for a groundbreaking educational and patient care initiative!

This is a rare chance to bridge the gap between the classroom and the cutting edge of Ataxia and neurological movement disorders.

The Opportunity: A Partnership for Progress

Selected applicants will have the prestigious opportunity to work alongside world-renowned experts at two of the leading institutions in the United States:

  1. The Ataxia Center at Johns Hopkins University (Maryland, USA): Gain hands-on experience in clinical research and specialized patient care at a global Center of Excellence.
  2. The Stephanie Cherqui Gene Lab at UC San Diego (California, USA): Dive deep into the future of medicine through advanced gene therapy research.

Special Invitation: Ataxia Gene Therapy Study

We are extending a special invitation to those interested in the frontier of genetic medicine!

Applicants are invited to discuss the development of the study and scholarship program directly with Stephanie Cherqui at the University of California San Diego. This is a unique mentorship opportunity to help shape the next generation of gene therapy.
