I'm excited by science and its ability to improve and extend our lives. Currently hunting for a treatment for sclerosteosis @ UCB and @ Tuks (RSA).

Scientists are testing a new drug, LGK974, to treat sclerosteosis—a rare disease that causes dangerously dense bones and serious health issues. Early results in mice show it may help reduce bone overgrowth without surgery!😁

📋 Importance: LGK974 therapy would likely be an option for early disease treatment in children, potentially avoiding risky surgical treatments and providing massive relief to these patients and their families.

New drug targets #sclerosteosis, an ultra-rare, potentially fatal bone disease:

Identifying the drug (LGK974) as a much-needed potential sclerosteosis treatment is a significant step forward for patients with this #raredisease.

[Timothy Dreyer @TimmyJDreyer]

💊 What We Found: A drug called LGK974 reduced skull and ear bone mass of young mice with #sclerosteosis, indicating that it effectively limits skeletal overgrowth at sites with severe/fatal pathology.

Our group from @RoyalVetCollege representing rare disease research at this month's #ORS2024 where @TimmyJDreyer presented on therapeutic discovery for Sclerosteosis. Remembering that there is so much work left to do, on #RareDiseaseDay - onwards to a cure!

[Dr Scott Roberts @DrScottJRoberts]

Two fantastic podium presentations and an excellent poster presentation from our lab @RoyalVetCollege during #ORS2024. Congratulations @LeahWells961, @TimmyJDreyer and @alpacamanpriv - you have all knocked it out of the park! Very proud PI here 🙂 #drugdiscovery #skeletal

@Plusnet good day, how can I change my router delivery address? I've emailed support 2 days ago, but received no response. Router is slated for delivery today, but I won't be at home to receive it until after 5pm. Thank you.

[Dr Scott Roberts @DrScottJRoberts]

Only a few days left to apply for this postdoc position, come work on understanding skeletal disease with us 🙂
