We are pleased to highlight Dr. Nicolas Abreu, a board-certified child neurologist and neurodevelopmental disabilities specialist as our Monthly Hero! Dr. Abreu joined the TANGO2 Research Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board 18 months ago. After caring for a child with TANGO2 Deficiency Disorder (TDD), he was deeply moved by the diagnostic and treatment challenges families face. Now an Assistant Professor of Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Dr. Abreu brings expertise in neurogenetics, gene therapy, and outcome measure development to the TANGO2 community.

Dr. Abreu values the strong sense of community the Foundation fosters and is committed to helping ensure earlier diagnosis and treatment so individuals with TDD can live as full and independent a life as possible.
