Grant Activity:
Pre-clinical iPSC-neuron screen of repurposed drugs for children with a form of dementia
Purpose:
There is no cure for the fatal childhood dementia Sanfilippo syndrome, and distressing symptoms destroy the quality of their short lives. We will use a state-of-the-art screening platform with patient-derived iPSC-neurons to rapidly identify repurposed drugs that can correct neuronal dysfunction. This will accelerate clinical trials to address symptoms, improve quality of life for children with Sanfilippo and their families, and establish an innovative model for other childhood dementias.
