Today, we approved a one-time gene therapy product for treatment as an adjunct to nutritional management of patients 8 years of age and older with glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa). This is the first therapy approved for this condition in patients 8 and older. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-therapy-patients-aged-8-years-and-older-glycogen-storage-disease-type-ia

Thank you for all you do for patients and their families, California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. 🙏

The families and patient advocates who live with autism every day are helping scientists make advances in autism research.

Researcher Matthew State, MD, PhD, chief scientific advisor for the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative and chair of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at UCSF, has worked alongside patient advocates including Allyson Berent of Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics and Alison Singer of the Autism Science Foundation for years.

Their alliance helps foster research that can have the greatest positive impact for patients with schizophrenia, profound autism, and other severe neurodevelopmental disorders.

How CIRM supports this momentum:

🔵 The ReMIND Initiative: Funding multi-investigator projects to help researchers make breakthroughs faster together, which is important for complex neurological research projects, such as studies related to schizophrenia, profound autism, and other severe neurodevelopmental disorders.

🔵 Advocates at the Table: CIRM includes patient advocates on its governing board, giving them a direct voice in funding decisions. When research teams treat families as partners, we break down barriers, reduce stigma, and clear the path toward life-changing therapies.

Image Description: A spacious, modern medical facility hallway with tall wooden beams and skylights letting in natural light. Two people stand near the center of the space, engaged in conversation. One is dressed casually in a blue shirt and khaki pants, while the other wears a dark suit. Behind them are organized medical carts, workstations, and neatly arranged equipment. The environment feels clean, bright, and professional, with polished wood floors and wide open walkways.
