Project 8p Research Newsletter – March 2024

We were thrilled to host Drs Felix Wong and Max Wilson, the founders of Integrated Biosciences, on the February 8p Research Roundtable.

A Grand Unified Theory of Neurodevelopmental Chromosomal Disorders

Project 8p’s quest is to mend broken chromosomes. By making medicines for 8p heroes living with the fallout of genomic imbalance we might just solve one of biology’s most complex puzzles.

Project 8p Research Newsletter – January 2024

As 2023 wrapped up, so did the first Project 8p-Sponsored Research Project.

Project 8p Research Newsletter – December 2023

This year was an exciting one for 8p research, with 9 sponsored research projects underway, 4 of which launched just this year.

Project 8p Research Newsletter – November 2023

The most recent Segment to be added to the Project 8p Research Plan is the Fifth Segment focused on Augmentative Devices

Balancing Act

One day science will restore balance to the genomes of 8p heroes. It will be a long, arduous journey

Project 8p Research Newsletter – October 2023

Project 8p is looking for companies and researchers working on novel technologies for augmentative devices.

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

  • Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
  • Lead with knowledge from patients. Currently, there is no cure for 8p disorders, nor is there a standard course of treatment.

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

  • Raise transformative funding for pioneering scientific research into treatments for a complex, rare disease involving 250+ affected genes on the short arm of the 8 th chromosome (8p). Rearrangements of these genes causes significant abnormalities to the entire neurological system, thus all organs and functions of the body– with variance in cognitive functions, gross motor skills, social development and other challenges during infancy, and throughout life;
  • Empower a unified community of 8p patients and their families so they can have meaningful lives today; and
  • Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
