What We Stand For?
Our Vision
SMC1A Foundation is a Non-Profit Organization with the vision to bring awareness, accelerate research, and find a cure for SMC1A related Developmental and Epileptic disorder.
Our Mission
Our mission is to develop an ongoing active sustainable SMC1A research funnel with the focus on effective treatments and cure.
Research Objectives
The goal is to start research into SMC1A on model organisms and animal models to get a more comprehensive understanding of the gene function and expression.
And from there, develop appropriate research objectives that will expand the research to curative areas such as testing Small Molecules, ASOs, and Gene Therapies if found appropriate.
