Dr. Jonathan Santoro

Dr. Jonathan Santoro is a leading NIH-funded physician-scientist and pediatric neurologist with specialty training in neuroimmunology. Since 2021, The Agape Fund has proudly supported Dr. Santoro’s pioneering research into Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD) — beginning before the receipt of his $5.3M NIH grant. Our funding has helped underwrite staffing, equipment, and key operational costs that make this research possible.

We remain committed to fueling this important work and helping Dr. Santoro’s team continue pushing the boundaries of what is understood — and what’s possible — for children with neurodegenerative disorders.
