“CureDuchenne recognized early on the importance of our research focused on rare and duplication mutations and we wouldn’t be here today without their support. CureDuchenne supported the development of the mouse model and the personnel to work on this research. CureDuchenne plays a vital role in funding early phase research projects to help accelerate their development.” — Dr. Kevin Flanigan
