Dr Shara Cohen and Professor Tim CoxAt the end of July Euroscicon’s managing director  Dr Shara Cohen,  met with Professor Timothy Cox to discuss the way forward for Euroscicons new charitable arm RareCareUK.

His laboratory is currently developing gene therapy for serious neurodegenerative disorders, including Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases and plays a major role in researching the causes of and developing treatments for  Krabbes disease and Gaucher disease.

Dr Cohen said “we hope that RareCareUK will have a long and rewarding relationship with Professor Cox and thank him for his time, ongoing support and most of all his enthusiasm for what we are hoping to achieve”.
