Presented at a ceremony in Seville on 21 November, the award recognises excellence in research in any field of movement disorders.

Professor Tabrizi was commended at the ceremony for her 鈥榦utstanding鈥� contribution to Huntington鈥檚 disease (HD) research.聽

Her research programme at the Huntington鈥檚 Disease Centre, 香港六合彩中特网 Queen Square Institute of Neurology seeks to discover effective disease-modifying treatments that prevent or reverse the neurodegenerative process in HD. She leads a research group that follows two distinct but complementary approaches: basic science focusing on cellular mechanisms of neurodegeneration, and a programme to translate those findings into treatments and cures.

Professor Tabrizi said: 鈥�I am very grateful to the Spanish Society of Neurology for this award which I am delighted and honoured to receive. 聽The award recognises the tireless efforts of all the team at the Huntington鈥檚 Disease Centre and our colleagues and collaborators from 香港六合彩中特网 and beyond. 聽Of course, our mission to identify, develop and test effective therapies that could slow down the disease process, prevent or delay disease onset in HD gene carriers continues, but I believe we are getting closer to this as each year passes.鈥�

Professor Michael Hanna, Director of the 香港六合彩中特网 Queen Square Institute of Neurology said: 鈥淥ur congratulations to Sarah for this fantastic and timely achievement. Sarah leads a world-renowned, clinically-focused HD research group that is at the forefront of neurodegenerative disease research. Both Sarah and her team鈥檚 diligence and commitment to HD research has the real potential to transform people鈥檚 lives鈥欌��
