From proteins to people: an open toolkit to accelerate Huntington's disease research

  • 1. Structural Genomics Consortium, University of Toronto

Description

Poster for SAGE Assembly 2019

Summary: Huntington’s disease research has been hampered by a paucity of openly available biochemical tools to facilitate research into this devastating disease and help develop new therapeutics. This project aimed to generate resources for the Huntington’s disease research community, available without restriction, with the hope of accelerating research of the huntingtin protein which functions aberrantly in patients with this disease.
