FEATURED INVESTIGATOR:
Robert Thompson Stone, MD

Robert Thompson Stone, MD, was awarded a $155,000 Rosenau Family Research Foundation grant in 2025 for his project titled “GenoKrabbe: A Comprehensive Genotype-Phenotype Database for Krabbe Disease”, which aims to establish the GenoKrabbe Database—a stakeholder informed, multi-institutional, web-based platform designed to collect, organize, and analyze data from individuals who screened positive for or were diagnosed with Krabbe Disease. This platform will allow for more accurate classification and prediction models for screen positive individuals, and improved counseling and decision-making regarding use of disease-modifying therapies. The project will help foster multi-institutional collaboration and strengthen connections across the Krabbe Disease community.
