Belated congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Bagnell (@abagnell_sci)! She’s going on to do amazing things as a Medical Affairs Postdoctoral Fellow with Sanofi and we miss her dearly!

For #SMAAwarenessMonth 💜 we want to highlight new research offering hope for treating spinal muscular atrophy before birth.
The @MackenzieTippi lab and @SumnerLab found that intra-amniotic delivery of SMN2 ASOs improved survival and motor function in SMA mouse models, surpassing outcomes of postnatal treatment.
Antisense oligonucleotides injected into amniotic fluid led to healthier motor neurons, improved behavior and survival in mouse models of spinal muscular atrophy. @HopkinsMedicine @UCSFMedicine scim.ag/43kciJ4
Thanks for the shout out!! We’re committed to working to develop new treatment modalities to improve patients’ experiences.
🎉 Congratulations to our amazing post doc @MoLOTSofScience for receiving an F32 NIH grant! This award will help fund Dr. Molotsky’s incredible research into the mechanisms of SMA selective motor neuron degeneration. 🎉

After many years of amazing work, Dr. Jeremy Sullivan's paper (@SumnerLab ) is finally out and TRPV4 expression in brainstem blood vessels made the cover!

Congratulations to @CMM_JHU Anna Bagnell @abagnell_sci for winning the @JohnsHopkins Empower Your Pitch competition!
Anna studies the role TRPV4 plays in regulating blood neural barriers in the @SumnerLab at @HopkinsMedicine.

We're hiring! We're looking for a senior and a junior research technician/assistant on the SMA side, to help study new treatments for SMA in our mouse models. DM us or reach out to Charlotte Sumner for more info. Job listing to be posted soon!
Check out our new paper in Acta Neuropathologica Communications, co-authored by Lingling Kong and Cera Hassinan! Congrats to them both! rdcu.be/c83Jx
