Research Resources
One key way CureSHANK’s is helping bridge the translational research gap between basic science and treatments for Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is by connecting researchers with resources. On this page, we have curated a wide spectrum of resources, ranging from information on how to access SHANK3 knockout mice and bio-samples from PMS patients, to clinical trials and natural history studies of Phelan-McDermid syndrome, to materials detailing the patient and caregiver burden in PMS, and more.
We welcome researchers seeking additional resources, or who have suggestions for topics for the CureSHANK Consortium Webinar Series “Resources for Researchers”, to contact us via the contact form below.
