There are numerous moments during our PhD journey when we can’t help but be fascinated by science. We wonder how exciting it could have been if we had seen all these experiments or instruments when we were just starting to learn about science in college.

This is about our journey with our son Naithan John Mathew living with a rare disease called Lowe syndrome, or the Oculocerebrorenal syndrome; we call it as Peter Pan syndrome. It is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by congenital cataracts, hypotonia, intellectual proteinuria.

On the Rare Disease Day, we approached Prof. Raghu Padinjat, Cell biologist, Dean Research, NCBS-TIFR, to learn about his work on using stem cells to understand Lowe Syndrome.
