Chief Scientific Officer Hired to Guide Research Initiative<br />
This past September, HDSA hired a Director of Medical & Scientific<br />
Affairs, George Yohrling, Ph.D., to take on the task of guiding the new<br />
HDSA Research Initiative.<br />
Dr. Yohrling has been an active member of the Huntington’s research<br />
community for many years and is uniquely qualified for this new<br />
role. After receiving his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Wake Forest<br />
University, Dr. Yohrling became a research fellow at Harvard University/<br />
Massachusetts General Hospital in the laboratory of the<br />
HDSA Coalition for the Cure Member and National Trustee, Dr. Jang-Ho<br />
Cha. Most recently, Dr. Yohrling served as Director of Systems Biology-<br />
Pathway Assessment at CHDI.<br />
The new HDSA Research Initiative aims to create a pipeline of new HD<br />
researchers, strengthen HDSA’s current partnerships with academic,<br />
commercial and government research organizations, and fuel research<br />
with a clinical component through the HDSA Centers of Excellence.<br />
