Claire Meehan, associate professor, Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen, has been awarded a Lundbeck Foundation LF Experiments research grant worth DKK 1,996,877.

Her project concerns the study of neuronal communication in connection with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This is ultimately a fatal nervous disorder that affects the motor neurons in the brain, brainstem and spinal column.
