Grant Activity:
Moon’s Mission: creating a replicable therapeutic framework for hereditary spastic paraplegias.
Purpose:
Patients with the hereditary spastic paraplegia SPG56 develop spasticity, progressive weakness of lower limbs and neurological defects during early childhood but no treatment exists. Using advanced patient specific stem cell derived brain organoid models we will test the safety and efficacy of viral gene therapy and benchmark this approach against traditional mouse models. Importantly, this pre-clinical testing framework can then be replicated for other genetic brain diseases.
