Exploring the capacity of Homer and other rare gene variants and the critical part they play in human function
Research
Enabling a leading research program via competitive research grant rounds, increasing the evidence base to understand the role these rare genes play in various neurological conditions.
Education
Aiming to educate the general population about the importance of the Homer gene and how translating crucial research can improve outcomes for people living with these conditions and lead to faster diagnosis timeframes.
Collaboration
Engaging the broader community in a wide variety of activities to raise much needed funds to invest in key research programs. 100% of the money raised goes directly towards investment in cutting edge research programs.
What is The Homer Hack?
The Homer Hack is a Not For Profit Charity holding a DGR 1 status. It consists of a broad group of individuals who have a keen joint interest in the effects of Homer gene variants and other rare genes in humans on day-to-day function. Some members have been personally touched by the debilitating effects of Homer gene variants whilst others have scientific interests in research discoveries and translating results into tangible outcomes. The team donates their time, energy, and resources to this worthwhile cause in the hope of benefiting many families in the future.
Our goals
The main aim of Homer Hack is to increase awareness of the effects of rare gene variants such as Homer. We aim to involve people in this journey in the hope of securing greater funds to contribute to neuroscience and neurological research endeavours. We hope to see these scientific and medical breakthroughs translated into developing greater insight into therapeutic approaches for disease management of a broad range of neurodevelopmental conditions.
Help us reach our goals
By donating to The Homer Hack, 100% of your contribution will go directly to our research.
