🏆🌹Congratulations to Jennifer SanMiguel, Ph.D., a lead scientist in the JAX Rare Disease Translational Center, who received a Patient First Scientist Award at Casey McPherson's 2024 Rose Gala in honor of her work with the To Cure a Rose Foundation. SanMiguel has developed multiple humanized HNRNPH2 mouse models representing variants in the X-linked HNRNPH2 gene that cause a rare, neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, developmental delay, motor function, and seizures in some patients. She leads the preclinical portfolio focused on antisense oligonucleotide knockdown of the HNRNPH2 gene and evaluating safety, dose ranging, and molecular and behavioral efficacy of the compounds. In collaboration with colleagues at Everlum Bio, this work will support the clinical development of a lead therapeutic for HNRNPH2 neurodevelopmental disorder. 🦓
