International Rett Syndrome Foundation: Innovation Award LOI

Main areas of research interest:

1. Molecular, cellular and circuit level characterization of MECP2 function to generate novel therapeutic targets/approaches
2. Integrated multi-level characterization of Rett Syndrome disease states including pre- and post-regression phases in disease models encompassing both the loss of and the restoration of MECP2 function.
3. Profile of cellular and brain-region-specific vulnerability to loss or gain of MECP2 function
4. Identifying genetic modifiers of MECP2 function for the development of novel therapeutic targets

Funding: up to $150,000 per year for two years. Overhead 10%.
