Gene Awakenings for the Treatment of Neurological Disorders
Late last year RSRT made a $2.2 million investment in the labs of Ben Philpot and his colleagues to conduct a screen to identify compounds that can unsilence a healthy copy of the mutated Rett gene. The screen is now up and running. Learn the basics of how the screen works and why we are optimistic about this approach.

After watching these two presentations, I understood the rett syndrome and its treatments quite much. These videos enlightened the parents fighting to Rett syndrome all over the world. There is hope to cure, there is courage to fight.
Thanks a lot, Monica and Benjamin.
