The prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is rising dramatically on a yearly basis and new interventional strategies are required to treat ASDs and related disorders like Fragile X syndrome. Project Overview The prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is rising dramatically on a...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease of progressive weakness that leads to death within a few years of onset. Project Overview Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease of progressive weakness that leads to death within a few years of onset. The disease can start in one arm, leg,...

Dr. Eid will test the hypothesis that the Trio gene is a central regulator of the development and maturation of cortical interneurons (INs) and that its loss underlies some genetic forms of epileptic encephalopathies (EE) by disrupting cortical network development and function. Project Overview Dr....

Ms. Zeinab Mohanna’s research will test the hypothesis that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing can increase the expression of PAX6 protein, improve the function of the neural and other tissues of the eye, and ultimately rescue the mutant phenotype in the mouse model of aniridia. Project...

Increased metabolism (hypermetabolism) is a characteristic often associated with more aggressive, faster progressing cases of ALS. Project Overview Increased metabolism (hypermetabolism) is a characteristic often associated with more aggressive, faster progressing cases of ALS. Recently, after...

Des éclairs verts et jaunes marquent les endroits où le virus Farmington tue les cellules cibles sensibles (en rouge). David Stojdl et son équipe tentent de traiter différemment les tumeurs cérébrales. Leur laboratoire a mis au point une biothérapie par virus oncolytique spécialement conçue pour le...
