CureSATB2 is our mission to bring life-changing treatments and therapies to people living with SATB2-associated syndrome.
We are dedicated to driving international research that leads to targeted treatments and, one day, a cure. Our goal is to give every individual with SAS a healthier, more independent life. At the heart of CureSATB2 is patient-centred collaboration and science. We bring basic researchers, translational researchers, clinicians and caregivers together to explore opportunities, create solutions, and share hope.

Key achievements
- We've established a network of researchers interested in the SATB2 gene/protein and SAS.
- Our SATB2 Virtual Research Roundtables have gathered attendants from up to 24 countries and 15 research labs.
- We've helped researchers gain access to scientific resources such as mouse models, patient testimonies and iPSCs through our networks.
- We administrate the SATB2 Syndrome Research Community on Facebook which now has 700+ members.
- Our team landed a grant for developing an inducible SATB2 mouse model.
- We regularly share SAS research news such as published papers, studies looking for participants and grant announcements on our social media.
- Our team members have authored and contributed to several published papers on SAS.
- We've recruited some of the most excellent minds to our Scientific Advisory Board and Medical Advisory Board.
Our approach
Our strategy to advance SATB2- and SAS-related research and collaboration can be summarised in five main points:
Building a global network
• Expanding the community of SATB2/SAS-focused researchers and clinicians.
• Partnering with organisations, hospitals, universities, laboratories, companies and other key stakeholders.
Fostering scientific collaboration
• Creating opportunities that connect experts across all translational research segments.
• Hosting events where caregivers, researchers, clinicians, and industry partners can learn from each other.
Strengthening scientific resources
• Growing and increasing access to essential resources such as the clinical registry, animal models, natural history studies and the human biobank.
Promoting and supporting research
• Actively collaborating in scientific studies.
• Connecting potential participants from the SATB2 community with ongoing research and clinical trials.
• Funding or granting high-impact SATB2-related research projects.
Sharing Knowledge
• Communicating updates on academic publications, active studies and trials, available resources, grant opportunities, and other important developments.
