The Hastings Lab investigates the molecular basis of diseases and therapeutics to treat them. Usher syndrome, Batten Disease and other lysosomal storage diseases, cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease are just some of the conditions we study. We employ RNA therapeutics such as antisense oligonucleotides, small molecules and mRNAs in our treatment discovery and development process.

We are committed to fostering an environment that values and supports every member of our society and honors backgrounds, perspectives and experiences that respect all others.
