Guiding Lesch-Nyhan Research with Integrity and Collaboration

The Love Never Sinks Medical & Scientific Advisory Board (MSAB) is a volunteer group of leading researchers, clinicians, and advocates dedicated to advancing understanding, treatment, and quality of life for individuals and families affected by Lesch-Nyhan disease.

This international board plays a vital role in guiding Love Never Sinks’ scientific direction — ensuring that every project and partnership aligns with our mission to promote research readiness, data transparency, and meaningful collaboration across the global rare disease community.
