Our recently helped support the International FOXP1 Foundation's Family Gathering and Conference 2023 – an event organized by one of our former team members, Karl Whitney, that aims to further the Foundation's mission of empowering and backing families and individuals with FOXP1 syndrome. Here's a look into Karl's event experience:

"This was by far the largest gathering of the FOXP1 community to date anywhere in the world, attracting about 150 people. FOXP1 syndrome is ultra-rare, and the opportunity to get together with individuals experiencing the same situation is truly invaluable."

Congrats to Principal Research Scientist Cindy Visness on her 24-year ! Cindy, on behalf of all of us at Rho, thank you for your unwavering enthusiasm, support and leadership. Check out what drives Cindy to do great work every day:

“The holy grail in pediatric asthma research is to find an intervention that could prevent allergic diseases and asthma – that could stop the “atopic march” in its tracks. We are working on the cutting edge of research delving into the molecular pathways of immunopathogenesis and how exposures during pregnancy and early life may set certain children up for having a high risk of allergic disease and asthma. As we learn more about how the immune system reacts to various exposures and stimuli, we get closer to identifying the treatments or interventions that could prevent disease progression.”

  from us to all of you! Our US employees are celebrating by recharging and spending time with loved ones.

Meet Director of Product Safety Aileen Noll! 👋

What never fails to bring a smile to your face?

I’m always smiling when I’m outside. I love feeling the sunshine on my face. I enjoy most outdoor activities and recently started hiking the Ice Age Trail – a 1,000-mile trail from northwest to southeast Wisconsin. I’ve got about 800 miles to go!

Tell us a random fact about yourself.

I am super adventurous and love trying new things that challenge me. I decided to start snowboarding this year and love it, despite multiple injuries and bruises.

If you could only keep three apps on your smartphone, what would they be?

I would keep iMessage, Chrome and Weather.
