🚀SCERG-iBB is a partner with EURAS, a new #EUresearch project on rare neurodevelopmental #RASopathies!
With a team of researchers and patient representatives, EURAS is here to develop disease management strategies - and bring hope to families.
At TĂ©cnico, more specifically at the Stem Cell Engineering Research Group, we are working on different stem cell technologies to develop novel disease models aiming at investigating disease mechanisms and testing the efficacy of treatments.
We will focus on rarer forms of RASopathies, namely Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (CFC), Costello syndrome (CS), and SYNGAP1-related encephalopathy (SYNGAP1), which cause significant neurological impairments, such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, challenging behaviour, and sleep disorder.
EURAS aims to develop new technologies for the delivery of therapeutic compounds to the brain and conduct preclinical proof-of-concept trials with repurposed drugs, antisense oligonucleotides, and motor-cognitive training.
