About

The Lost Enzyme Project was created by the families of children diagnosed with Beta-mannosidosis in the United States in collaboration with the University of California Irvine Foundation, Kimonis Laboratory, and JCR Pharmaceuticals to create a novel enzyme replacement therapy. Our project, working through the University of California Irvine Foundation, has set a goal of raising $520,925.00 by August 1, 2025, to fund the development of a new treatment with JCR Pharmaceuticals.

Research for The Lost Enzyme Project will take place at the Kimonis Lab at the University of California, Irvine. Our goal is to raise $520,925.00 by August 1, 2025, to fund the preclinical studies and research necessary to move into enzyme development with JCR Pharmaceuticals.

The project’s design is intended to support the following goals:

GOAL 1: Clinical characterization and natural history studies

GOAL 2: Utilization of Fribroblast cell lines for translational (treatment) studies

GOAL 3: Translational studies in neuronal cell lines derived from patient iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells)

GOAL 4: Conduct scientific lab work including a mouse model

We thank you for donating to our project. The groundbreaking enzyme replacement treatment will transform the outcomes of people diagnosed with Beta-mannosidosis around the world.
