Connections & Partnerships
Driving Discovery Through Partnerships
Collaboration is at the heart of The SAMD9L Foundation's mission. By partnering with leading research institutions and laboratories, the foundation accelerates the search for effective treatments and enhances patient support. Key partnerships include:
Wlodarski Lab at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Led by Dr. Marcin Wlodarski, this lab investigates genetic predispositions for bone marrow failure and myelodysplastic syndromes, contributing to a deeper understanding of SAMD9L.
Allenspach Lab at Seattle Children's Research Institute
Under the direction of Dr. Eric Allenspach, this lab focuses on immune dysregulation, studying genetic mutations that lead to diseases like SAMD9L.
Frost Lab at Altos Labs
This lab delves into the molecular mechanisms of biological machines, providing insights that could be pivotal in understanding the cellular processes affected by SAMD9L mutations.
