Rowling funded the facility through a £10 million donation three years ago. The clinic opened on Tuesday with the assistance of the Princess Royal. Quote:
Rowling said: "I am moved and elated to see the Anne Rowling Clinic formally opened today by HRH The Princess Royal.
"Having observed the plans for the clinic develop and expand to fulfil the needs of patients, clinicians and researchers, I am now very proud to see the building finished and operating as the beating heart of this centre for excellence."
| Quote:
Professor Siddharthan Chandran, Professor of Neurology and co-director of the clinic, said: "All patients with these tough diseases need treatments that will slow, stop and ideally reverse damage.
"The Anne Rowling Clinic will pioneer discovery science and innovative clinical research through strong partnerships with the NHS, academia and industry around the world. Only by better understanding the biological processes behind these devastating diseases can we identify new targets for potential therapies and take them into clinical trials."
