roadmap to a cure
our mission
The SPATA Foundation's Mission is to advocate, educate, and drive research for SPATA5 and SPATA5L1 Related Disorders.
Our hope is that our efforts will help us better understand the function of the genes & lead to treatment for disorders related to these genes.
fundraising
Rare diseases are often overlooked when it comes to research and funding due to the small populations they serve. This means advocating for research and funding said research falls to the duty of the rare disease families and organizations.
​
We can't find a cure without your help.
Current Goal: $90,000 Drug Repurposing Project
