Many members of Krishnan lab traveled to Vanderbilt University to participate and engage in Rett Syndrome Education Day. We had a wonderful opportunity to share our work, meet with families and individuals affected by Rett Syndrome. It was inspirational to see clinical and basic research scientists finding ways to treat people with this disorder.
