He hopes to identify a treatment approach using nicotine sprays or patches. Please consider participating in this most important research. Dr. Robert Hariri, Chief Science Officer, is interested in researching how AnthroGen's technology can be applied to treating Rett Syndrome. While such research is taking place, Dr. Hariri has offered to store cord blood and placentas from any expecting mother who also has a child with Rett Syndrome. Dr. James Wark, pediatric neurologist at The Children's Regional Hospital in Camden, New Jersey is looking for Rett Syndrome patients to enlist in a study investigating respiratory patterns and autonomic function.
