Dr. Greg Block
On July 27, 2015, Biochemistry alum Dr. Gregory Block spoke about “Carving a path to cure FSH Muscular Dystrophy: from molecular mechanisms to patients” which included: 1) complex molecular genetics of FSHD, 2) active role that disease-specific non-profits are playing in the development of treatments for rare diseases and 3) transition from academia to scientific development in the non-profit and for-profit sectors. His scientific narrative of FSHD was followed by a candid, entertaining career story to his current role as Scientific Director for Friends of FSH Research and Vice President of Business Development for Universal Cells Inc. based in Seattle, USA.
