Congratulations to Marina Stavrou, Kleopas Kleopa, Scott Harper, and the other collaborators for making the cover of Journal of Clinical Investigation! We are very proud to have been able to fund this high impact research. jci.org/132/13


We are pleased to announce that Dr. Alessandra Bolino of Ospedale San Raffaele has completed the first stage of her project testing @AcuraStem's PIKfyve inhibitor in CMT4B1. Next up: a preclinical trial in CMT4B1 mice. cmtrf.org/bolino-milesto…


Congratulations to Afrooz @Rashnonejad of Ohio State and @NationwideKids! This is a very promising project aiming to develop a single gene therapy that has the potential to work for all of nearly all people with CMT1B.




Read more about our newly announced project with Samsara Therapeutics, an innovative biotech company targeting neurodegenerative disease with autophagy enhancers. If successful, the project will result in a lead candidate for CMT1A and data for an IND submission. cmtrf.org/samsara-therap…
