Mission Massimo

Promoting the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of childhood leukodystrophies one gene at a time. #missionmassimo #finishthemission

[Mission Massimo @missionmassimo]

Massimo showed us all what the very best of humanity can achieve working together to achieve a common goal. Join us 8:00pm next Monday 21/5 on @AustralianStory to help #finishthemission https://t.co/6ozEzehOhZ

An incredible story from @missionmassimo at #AusGenomicsSummit how one family with a #raredisease have driven translational research which is benefiting so many more . Working together globally will bring solutions for #rarediseases @AusGenomics @RareVoices

Back at #AusGenomicsSummit @missionmassimo and closing the gap between diagnosis and treatment in leukodystrophies @AusGenomics #ICG2023

Massimo’s Mission has LIFT OFF! Massimo's Mission, a clinical & research program in childhood leukodystrophies, is recruiting Aus patients facing challenges in obtaining a confirmed genetic diagnosis for a suspected leukodystrophy. More: https://t.co/0oV1LsOYqb @missionmassimo

Massimo’s Mission has LIFT OFF! @MCRI_for_kids @RCHMelbourne @AIBNatUQ @UNSW @illumina @leukoaust Together, we will make today’s science fiction, tomorrow’s science fact. #finishthemission #missionmassimo https://t.co/5Cg5fUVKHw

Great story in @WIRED about the mission of our friends @ryanjtaft and @illumina “to bring a genome to every kid who needs one”. We’re sure Massimo would have been proud of the legacy he leaves behind. #missionmassimo #massimoeffect #finishthemission. https://t.co/6Z4Lhechaj

@illumina @WIRED @ryanjtaft @missionmassimo @ryanjtaft you have changed so many lives. Thank you for your work. WGS identified a new variant of #VPS13D gene in our son it was life changing. We went from unknown leuko to an answer too! 🧬 now we can work on a treatment @kids_research

[Illumina @illumina]

Today in @WIRED: read the amazing story of a scientist, our own @ryanjtaft, who volunteered to help solve a family's genetic mystery and began his quest to bring DNA sequencing to kids who need answers: https://t.co/TWI2rAGiAB @missionmassimo

[Rady Genomics @RadyGenomics]

Not all heroes wear capes. Great story in @WIRED about the inspiring quest of @ryanjtaft & @illumina “to bring a genome to every kid who needs one” and use genomic #sequencing to give hope & answers to families facing rare genetic disease. #GenomicMedicine https://t.co/pgCWQ5rXEs

Study from @RadyGenomics shows progress in scaling up rapid (under 24 hours) AI-powered diagnosis with genome sequencing of seriously ill infants. Clinicians can used saved time to better plan care. In @ScienceTM

[AAMRI @AAMRI_Aus]

$25M support from #MRFF for a national Drug Discovery Centre at @WEHI_research that will increase Australia's capacity for developing new medicines, announced today by @GregHuntMP

[Mission Massimo @missionmassimo]

We are thrilled to share the announcement of $3 million of Federal Government funding for Massimo’s Mission. A touching tribute to honour Massimo’s legacy and support pioneering research to finish the mission he started. https://t.co/9x8CXo5WvI #finishthemission #missionmassimo

100,000 Genomes Project has hit its target. One in four participants with rare diseases received a diagnosis for the first time ending the "diagnostic odyssey" for many families. Next step is 'close the loop' to clinical treatments. #finishthemission https://t.co/UrEMxHKfCK

[Mission Massimo @missionmassimo]

Excellent example of how an early diagnosis allowed clinicians and researchers to offer a precision treatment for a better patient outcome. Also highlights the growing need for n=1 clinical trials for newly discovered rare diseases. https://t.co/tS92bTB900 #finishthemission

[Mission Massimo @missionmassimo]

Great work from Prof Ernst Wolvetang @AIBNatUQ showing how the same technologies used to model rare diseases can provide valuable insights to common diseases like Alzheimer's Disease. https://t.co/rkwir2Rdhu
