$2.6 million awarded for funding
A massive $2.6 million was awarded to The International Endogene Consortium, which is studying the genetic background of endometriosis.
The funding is from the UK’s Wellcome Trust and Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council.
Dr Krina Zondervan from Oxford University said: “We have been given an unprecedented opportunity to
make real headway with understanding the genetics of the disease.”||||||||||||||||||\\\\Members of the International Endogene Consortium
Dr Grant Montgomery from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research said the upcoming research was only possible thanks to the women with endometriosis who have contributed blood samples and their valuable time.
“We are extremely grateful for their efforts, and hope to be able to provide exciting results from these studies in the near future” he said.
