Mustafa Sahin, MD, PhD, Neurologist in Chief, Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, Rosamund Stone Zander Professor of Neurology at BCH and the Harvard Medical School. In 2013, he established the first Translational Neuroscience Center (TNC) at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital (BCH). Dr. Sahin is also a member of the National Academy of Medicine, recognized for his achievements in the neurobiology of autism and pioneering translational studies for neurogenetic disorders.<\/p>\n
Rosamund Stone Zander (1945-2023) led an extraordinary and exemplary life of generosity and creativity. She applied her diverse talents, intelligence and skills as a family therapist, best-selling author, leadership consultant, educator, painter and philanthropist toward improving the world she encountered. She and her husband, Hansjoerg Wyss, were a passionate, visionary and generous team. Since her death in 2023, Dr Wyss has committed to supporting the work that she started with the Translational Neuroscience Center.<\/p>\n
Early experience teaching children with autism impressed upon Rose the challenges and needs of these individuals and their families. In the pursuit to make a difference in this domain, she found Dr. Sahin. They formed an alliance dedicated to improving the lives of affected children and their families. Ms. Zander challenged him to imagine how increased scale might accelerate the progress of his work. Together they developed an ambitious plan to expand the capabilities and scope of the foundational Center to speed translation of scientific discovery into widespread clinical practice. She and Dr Wyss provided transformational funding to broaden and accelerate the scope of Sahin\u2019s seminal research. With expanded infrastructure and increased research funding, the TNC collaborates with and enables a vast network of advocacy, community-building and educational programs for patients, families and caretakers to advance promising innovations and to facilitate their translation into better diagnostics and treatments for childhood neurological disorders.<\/p>\n

In the past, many pediatric neurological disorders were considered too rare or complex to target for treatment. Recent advances in medicine, genomics and computational biology open new possibilities for such patients. The Translational Neuroscience Center at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital facilitates the development of interdisciplinary collaborations to improve early diagnosis, accelerate drug discovery, and generate additional novel strategies for reducing the burden of pediatric nervous system disorders for patients and families. We promote the translation of research discoveries into new treatment options and help train the next generation of translational neuroscience researchers.<\/p>\n
