Investigating Novel Stress Response Pathways in Neurological Disease

Lead Research Organisation: MRC Harwell Institute

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
