In collaboration with the Children’s Hospital at Westmead and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), a research project has been developed that uses new gene editing technology (CRISPR) in the hope of a new treatment approach for NF1.
An application for funding was successfully made to the US CTF to support this. The Centre for Translational Research (funded by the CTF Australia) will provide the clinical support, with laboratory support to come from the MCRI in Melbourne.
