The fellowship recognises Walgrave's promising work on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), particularly the investigation into the potential contribution of skeletal muscle to TDP-43 associated ALS. The research could illuminate new aspects of this debilitating neurodegenerative condition.
The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships aim to bolster researchers' careers while promoting research excellence. The initiative specifically targets PhD holders looking to enhance their research capabilities abroad, acquire novel skills, and progress their professional journey. These fellowships not only facilitate gaining experience across different countries and disciplines but also encourage ventures into non-academic sectors.
