Genetic disease affects 1 in 50 babies, can lead to still birth, miscarriage, pregnancy complications and IVF failure. Young researchers working in this field drive scientific progress in this area. One of the ways in which we can promote their careers is by supporting them to visit other labs, to attend conferences and to present their fascinating research. This, in turn, benefits making thorough the fruits of their labours. Sadly, funds are all too short for allowing them to do this, and the purpose of this fund it to support these young people in enhancing their scientific careers in this fascinating and worthwhile area of science.
