We are delighted to learn that long term supporter of the Ciliopathy Alliance, Girish Mali,has been awarded the Lister Prize for his respiratory cilia work into Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
“It is a tremendous honour for me and my group to receive the Lister Prize this year. This award will enable us to apply cutting-edge tools to understand the mechanisms that make lung cilia move and model the related respiratory ciliopathy, Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), to push the frontiers of cilia biology in health and disease. This new direction will help us tackle a long-standing challenge – finding a viable cure for PCD. I am thrilled to be joining the Lister community and look forward to forging exciting new collaborations."
