Łukasz Sznajder (Chemistry and Biochemistry) has received an Early Career Research in Myotonic Dystrophy Award ($140K) from the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation. His project, titled “Probing Expanded RNA Species and Their Role in DM2,” focuses on understanding how specific RNA molecules containing expanded CCUG repeats may contribute to myotonic dystrophy type 2 symptoms—and whether targeting these molecules could lead to effective treatments.
