The Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Foundation Canada is proud to announce the 2022 recipients of our first LEAP Impact Award.
Congratulations to Nairy Khodabakhshian, Dr. Pei-Yu Chen, Dr. Michelle Keir, and Dr. Gauri Karur!
The awardees are investigating an exciting variety of topics related to Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS): pediatric exercise, bone treatment, quality of life, and cardiac imaging. We cannot wait to witness their impact in the research world and in the lives of LDS patients and families.
In this issue, we cover the LEAP Impact Award, the four funded projects, and a new aortopathy clinic for LDS.
