Award for developing a neural assay platform to classify CACNA1C disease variants in human neurons, led by Emory University, funded by NIMH with a total amount of $430,375.
Description
The project involves developing a neural multiplexed assay platform combining prime editing with calcium-activity recording in human neurons. The project aims to classify ~2,000 CACNA1C variants. The project is led by Dr. Fikri Birey at Emory University.
