2018 Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine — Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders

 
  April 25, 2018  
     
 
The New York Academy of Sciences, The New York Academy of Sciences, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, 40th floor New York, NY 10007-2157
June 5, 2018


The 2018 Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine will be awarded to Dr. Huda Y. Zoghbi for her research unveiling the genetic and molecular basis of Rett syndrome and spinocerebellar ataxia, enabling novel therapeutic strategies for these devastating diseases. Her discovery of the mutational driver of Rett syndrome also lead to the elucidation of its role in other neurological impairments, ranging from learning disabilities to autism. Complemented by fundamental studies in neurodevelopment, Dr. Zoghbi continues to pursue the complex molecular processes driving the pathogenesis of some of the most devastating neurological conditions.
