Tax yearRecipientMatchAmountTypePurposeSource filing
2022University of Colorado Denver Aurora, COA$150,000paidLymphoblast Cell Lines as a Model to Uncover Metabolic Defects in Dravet Syndrome- Dr. Patel and Dr. Knupp work together on this collaborative project to establish lymphoblast cell lines from the blood of patients with Dravet syndrome and their unaffected siblings. This library of cell lines will then be used to investigate alterations in energy metabolism that may impact patients with Dravet syndrome as well as stand as a future resource for investigations of new drugs, diets, and treatment responses.202301089349300125
2022The Ohio State University Columbus, OHA$150,000paidTargeting Molecular Responses to Seizures in Dravet Syndrome- Dr. Wagnon's work previously identified that the gene Npas4 is reduced in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome. This project hypothesized that restoration of high Npas4 expression could ameliorate seizures and other symptoms using viral-mediated delivery of Npas4 to the brain of mice with SCN1A haploinsufficiency.202301089349300125
2022The Washington University St Louis, MOA$150,000paidKetogenic Diet Modulated Brain Energy Metabolism in Dravet Syndrome- Dr. Thio and Dr. Garbow work together on this collaborative project to better understand the mechanisms whereby the ketogenic diet reduces seizures in Dravet syndrome. They will investigate two metabolic pathways in a genetic mouse model of Dravet syndrome and use neuroimaging techniques to assess these impacts within the brain.202301089349300125
2022The Regents of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MIA$50,000paidOptimizing the Regional Administration of SCN8a-targeting RNAi Therapy- Dr. Yu's project worked to develop an AAV-delivery for a genetic-based therapy targeting the SCN8A gene. While the majority of cases of Dravet syndrome are caused by mutations in SCN1A, Dr. Yu and the Meisler lab have shown that using genetic-based therapies to reduce expression of the SCN8A gene can compensate for loss-of-function SCN1A-mutations that cause Dravet syndrome.202301089349300125

Match tier: A Reported EIN · B Exact name and place · C Strong name match · D Probable name match · U Unresolved. Tiers C and D are inferred, not reported; see how matching works.

Recipient matching for this dataset version has not yet completed its independent precision check. Tier A rows carry the EIN the filer reported; tiers B–D are the matcher's inference and should be read as leads until the check is published on the methodology page.
