Our Mission

We are a new and small organization with simple but ambitious goals:

My lab is working on figuring out how and why the various mutations in the KCNMA1 channel cause the many problems we see. We hope that this KCIAF partnership with patients, parents, and caregivers will advance our understanding of symptoms and help point the way to effective therapies.
