Congratulations to Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences predoctoral candidate Rachel Wurth for receiving a $112,718 New Investigator grant from Rosenau Family Research Foundation! Her two-year project, “Elucidating the metabolic signature of Krabbe Disease plasma, dried blood spots, and cerebrospinal fluid using untargeted metabolomics and metabolic flux analysis”, aims to discover new disease biomarkers that will complement current laboratory testing to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of Krabbe disease.
The outcomes of this research could lead to improvements in the diagnosis of Krabbe disease, predicting the course of disease and improving understanding of what changes in metabolism contribute to the condition.
