Washington Research Foundation Awards $275K Grant to Nino Ramirez of Seattle Children’s to Develop Schizophrenia Treatment Targeting Synaptic Pruning Pathway

Washington Research Foundation awarded a $275,000 grant to Seattle Children’s researcher Nino Ramirez, PhD, to advance a potential treatment that could stop schizophrenia progression. The work builds on a 2023 WRF grant of $100,000, which supported the development of a molecule designed to degrade excess C4 protein, believed to be linked to the disorder.
