Calling All Researchers! Two $69,708 grants for STXBP1 Research! Letter of Interest (LOI) Applications are Due Friday, September 20th, 2024 by 8pm ET Lulu’s Crew / Team STXBP1 rode for the 6th year -- raising a more than $139K in funds for STXBP1 research -- in the Million Dollar Bike Ride, organized by the Orphan Disease Center | University of Pennsylvania. Projects addressing any stage of pre-clinical to clinical development for STXBP1 disorders will be considered. Areas of priority interest include, but are not limited to: -Understanding pathomechanisms and genotype-phenotype relationships of STXBP1 disorders. This may include the development of novel murine or iPSC-based models to determine pathomechanisms of missense variants. -Development of clinical trial readiness, including identification of novel biomarkers and non-seizure clinical endpoints and assessments. -Determining the trajectory of STXBP1 disorders from pediatric to adult presentations. -Developing or advancing novel therapeutic approaches to correct STXBP1 disorders These grants are made possible by Lulu’s Crew / Team STXBP1. To apply, review the Request for Application: https://lnkd.in/dUndgkGz Submit your Letter of Intent by September 20! #RareDisease

About us
The STXBP1 Foundation is a non-profit parent organization dedicated to ending STXBP1-related disorders. We are comprised of a diverse team of families and their supports, scientists and medical professionals. In fostering partnerships with physicians, researchers, and other foundations, we share learnings and efficiencies to increase awareness of this rare, genetic disorder and accelerate the time to finding a cure. We believe that through our work, we are leading the charge towards improved therapies and ultimately ending STXBP1-related disordesr. Our International STXBP1 Family has grown tremendously to 1000+ united and strong and we will only continue to grow our numbers as other families have access to genetic testing. Our Mission: -Create awareness in the disorders associated with STXBP1 mutations -Fund Research to accelerate discovery of a cure -Provide families with tools to help them understand the disease & how to get involved -Advocate to improve early detection -Foster activism to help change policies in favor of orphaned diseases -Improve the lives of our STXBP1 Family

🚀 Ella Gordon and I are thrilled to announce the official launch of Rafa's Moonshot, a non-profit research fund with a primary focus on finding a cure for #STXBP1 (a rare genetic disorder that disrupts the brain's communication) and other rare genetic single-gene disorders. 🚀 Our Journey started on a rainy day in February 2023. Our world was turned upside down when Raphael, 18 months back then, was diagnosed with STXBP1. I remember every detail of that dreadful day, sitting in the cramped doctor's office, bombarded with terms like "severe developmental delays," "epilepsy," and "absence of speech", and then came the hardest part: the doctor said, "I'm sorry, but there is no cure." We were shattered. 🍋 "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." 🍋 Was it a coincidence, or was it a sign from the universe? Raphael (Rafa - "to cure" in Hebrew) was born to an entrepreneur and a neurologist who would not take "there is no cure" for an answer. Quickly, Ella and I developed a strategic plan and set off on a mission to find a cure, just a week after receiving Raphael's diagnosis. In the past year, we talked with hundreds of researchers, scientists, clinicians, and biotech entrepreneurs worldwide. We developed a strong relationship with the STXBP1 researchers community and foundations worldwide, and we built a robust research infrastructure. We launched a drug repurposing initiative, initiated a project to develop a new drug for STXBP1 in Israel, and started our first N-of-1 clinical trial six months after the diagnosis. In addition to that, we are also happy to welcome Dr. Hila Ben-Moshe 👏, who has joined Rafa’s Moonshot as our new Director of Science and will lead our pioneering research as we actively donate grants to support ground-breaking technologies with clinical potential and leading researchers worldwide. We are grateful to all our companions, collaborators, and advocates who have supported us along the way. Join us on this journey, and follow our progress, and mission to find a cure for STXBP1 and other rare genetic disorders. Thank you to Lior Dor (Rare Smile Foundation), Shane Wald-Altman (QRGenetics), Illana Gozes, Bruria Ben-Zeev, Michal Fisher, Gad D Vatine , Nofar Mor, Charlene Son Rigby (STXBP1 Foundation), Michael Boland, Christopher E Hopkins, PhD, MBA (InVivo Biosystems), Daniel Kaganovich, Shani Stern, Erin Prosser, Andreea Nissenkorn, Ariel Nissim, Alon Tal (Merit Spread Foundation, Iris Stark איריס שטרק, Alex Bunin (inshi) and more, for your support. Raphael, Mom, and Dad will journey to the moon and beyond for you, our sweet child. ❤️ Learn more about our research here: https://lnkd.in/dWmSsXWq #RafasMoonshot #STXBP1 #RareDisease #Cure #Hope #Innovation
