Wolfram Moms Join Forces to Create “Snow White Fellowship”
In the fall of 2013, Stephanie Snow Gebel and Beth White decided to join forces and create “The Snow White Fellowship” at Washington University School of Medicine. The Jack & J.T. Snow Scientific Research Foundation and The Ellie White Foundation for Rare Genetic Disorders decided to join forces in fighting Wolfram syndrome, TOGETHER!
The fellowship will allow Dr. Fumihiko Urano, lead Wolfram syndrome researcher to hire additional support and expedite a cure for juvenile-onset diabetes, including type 2 and Wolfram syndrome.
“We are very fortunate to have the support of the Snow White Fellowship. Having additional manpower working on our research and the development of potential drug therapies will allow us to achieve our goals much sooner.” – Dr. Fumihiko Urano
