Grant - Summer 2015 - CMT - Daniel Summers, Ph.D.

Daniel Summers, a postdoctoral research scholar in the department of genetics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, was awarded an MDA development grant totaling $180,000 over three years to investigate how activation of a protein called SARM leads to the loss of metabolites that are essential for the health of peripheral nerves in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). Further knowledge of this pathway may highlight whether blocking SARM may be a novel therapeutic approach for CMT and other peripheral neuropathies.
Funding for this MDA development grant began Aug. 1, 2015.
