GRI Genes Research Roundtable Summary 

CureGRIN Foundation hosted our tenth GRI Genes Roundtable on October 21, 2021. Our goal is to promote collaboration so that we can accelerate the path to treatments and cures for GRI Disorders.

We brought together researchers and clinicians studying GRI Disorders, GRIN genes, GRIA genes, GRIK genes, NMDA receptors, and other ionotropic receptors (AMPARs, kainate receptors, and delta receptors) to discuss and exchange ideas. 

We asked Bobbie Couch to share her family story about her son with a variant in GRIN1. A panel of two researchers presented their work on NMDAR functioning. Keith McArthur also shared more information about the GRI Connect Platform. This document summarizes these presentations.

Our next GRI Genes Research Roundtable is scheduled for: Thursday, December 2, 2021.

If you are a GRIN / NMDAR researcher and/or a GRIA genes/AMPAR researcher or clinician, please reach out to meagan@curegrin.org to be added to the next meeting invitation.
