The Deater Foundation is deeply grateful to Dr. Florian Eichler, who has pursued research on the mouse model of HSAN1 leading to the supplementation of L-serine as a treatment for this disease. Dr. Eichler began his HSAN1 journey in Dr. Robert Brown’s Day Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). From his own lab at MGH Dr. Eichler has collaborated with other researchers from around the country and around the world. He continues to advocate for therapy by encouraging manufacturers to develop a long acting L-serine.
