Dr. Art Beaudet to receive McKusick Leadership Award

Congratulations to Dr. Arthur Beaudet on being named the 2017 recipient of the Victor A. McKusick Leadership Award from the American Society of Human Genetics. 

Dr. Beaudet has been a pioneering force in Angelman syndrome research; it’s truly because of him that AS research has progressed to where it is today! Whether it be identifying the Ube3a gene as the cause of AS or working on several treatments for AS—including his ASF-funded study in 2014 on ASOs
