🎉 We're delighted that Professor Sarah Tabrizi, MD PhD FMedSci FRS has been awarded a CBE for services to people with Huntington’s disease. Professor Tabrizi's multidisciplinary research provided transformational insights into the biology of Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, and has helped to create an entirely new field of novel therapeutic agents. Her work balances the investigation of fundamental mechanistic science combined with human clinical research in patients, and she has redefined the lifelong trajectory of this fatal disease, making it one that is now therapeutically tractable. 🗣️ Professor Tabrizi said: “I am deeply honoured and humbled to be recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours. This award reflects many years of collaborative effort with an extraordinary community of researchers, clinicians and, above all, individuals and families affected by Huntington’s disease. I am profoundly grateful to the patients and families who have worked alongside me and contributed to research over many years - their commitment makes progress possible, and their resilience and tremendous courage inspires everything I do.
