Last year The White Coats Foundation ran a 2-part webinar series on “De-mystifying consumer and community involvement in research. As part of the outcomes of this series we produced a reflections paper and looked at the gaps/areas requiring further discussion and reflection. We sent out a poll to determine which areas were of greatest interest for inclusion in the 2022 White Coats Foundation Education webinar agenda. One of the top 3 topics was- ‘What is consumer-led research? In our first webinar series we learned that consumer and community involvement is where consumers and the community actively work with researchers or research organisations to help shape decisions about health research priorities, policy and practice But what is consumer-led research and how is it different to consumer involvement? On Wednesday the 13th July we heard from a variety of stakeholders about what ‘consumer-led’ research means to them. The webinar included a discussion that brought some clarity to the definition of ‘consumer-led’ research.

Nirma is a neuroscientist at the Florey Institute in Melbourne. She is part of a team that is working on finding an effective treatment for motor neuron disease (MND), a particularly devasting disease that can shorten a patient's life span to 2-5 years. Her work involves harnessing a pathway that already exist in our cells called autophagy to see if its modulations can be used to “rescue” motoneurons as a possible treatment option. Nirma also investigates mechanisms that cause MND, which can help with understanding how to target treatment.
