Our Center for Mitochondrial & Epigenomic Medicine has received a grant of $2.3+ million from Gates Foundation. This funding will help our researchers answer questions about COVID-19 effects & hopefully identify new ways to reduce its impact. Learn more: bit.ly/3YByZoa.

This work was done in collaboration with families and kiddos in the FamilieSCN2A foundation, with data collected last summer at the family meeting. Weโ€™ve been busy again in the past few days at their 2023 meeting in Boston! Thanks to all our junior scientists!

One of the best ways I support FamilieSCN2A is by riding in the UPenn Million Dollar Bike Ride by ODC, raising vital funds for rare disease research. Help us hit our goal! 100% of donations go to research, with matching funds up to $30K. #SCN2A #MDBR charity.pledgeit.org/f/ydHvlV9zk2
