Gene Awakenings for the Treatment of Neurological Disorders
Ben Philpot, Ph.D.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
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.
