HNF is Reshaping Drug Repurposing for CMT

by Courtney | Mar 6, 2023 | GRIN Patient Registry, Rarebase, Registry, Research and Critical Trials, TRIAD, Webinars - Research and Clinical Trials | 0 Comments

HNF has partnered with Rarebase, a public benefit precision medicine company that has screened a large library of FDA approved small molecules to identify candidates for various types of CMT. Their tech-enabled drug discovery platform is called Function™. There are many published discoveries on the genetic cause of many types of CMT, including an understanding of the basic mechanism of disease and potential targets for FDA-approved drug repurposing. It is this understanding that allows HNF and Rarebase to target the genetic root cause of CMT.
