J.K. Rowling, author of much-loved Harry Potter series, donates almost $20 million to support research into neurological conditions in honor of her late mother.
The latest philanthropic act from the woman behind the fantasy empire will help create new facilities and support research at the University of Edinburgh's Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic, seeking to improve the lives of people with multiple sclerosis and similar conditions.
The facility studies neurological conditions including multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease , Parkinson’s and dementia, and aims to support sufferers of degenerative illnesses affecting the brain. The author said in a statement that the center's efforts are"a matter of great pride" for her while staff expressed their gratitude for her"incredibly far-sighted and generous donation" which will"unlock the potential of personalized medicine for people with MS in Scotland and further afield," according to Professor Siddharthan Chandran, the director of the research hub.
