SynGAP Research Fund SRF increases support for SYNGAP1 organoid research at the University of Southern California's Quadrato Lab.

The SynGAP Research Fund (SRF) has awarded a $130,000 grant to the University of Southern California's Quadrato Lab to further their research on SYNGAP1 organoids. The lab has previously made significant discoveries about the function of SynGAP in controlling human cortical neurogenesis. The new grant will allow researchers to study the effects of specific SYNGAP1 variants on their organoid model system and explore potential alternative targets for future therapeutics. The goal of the project is to improve understanding of interventions and generate new ideas for treatments for SYNGAP1-Related Disorders. [Extracted from the article]
