Welcome to the MGFA Insider Research Series homepage. We have invited Dr. Kevin O’Connor and Dr. Richard Nowak to serve as your guides as you dive deep into the inner workings of research at MGFA.
In this series, you’ll find short video clips explaining how our research process works, what success looks like in research, and what it takes to get us closer to a cure for MG. As you’ll hear Dr. Nowak say, “be curious”; this series was designed to provide you with the tools you need to fully understand, in a simplified way, how the research process works at MGFA.
We invite you to watch each short clip below, be curious and ask us questions. We’ve purposely made each clip short (between 30 seconds – 2 minutes) so you can learn about exactly what you’re interested in and re-visit a particular question again at a later date.
Our team is happy to answer any questions. You can email Caroline at cgayler@myasthenia.org and we will get back to you with an answer.
