Hunter Syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare genetic disorder caused by decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. Idursulfase-IT, an enzyme replacement therapy, was developed for the treatment of patients with Hunter Syndrome with cognitive impairment to help with the central nervous system manifestations of the disease. The purpose of this post-trial access program is so that patients with Hunter syndrome who previously received monthly administration of idursulfase-IT through participation in an earlier clinical research study can continue to receive it.

This project seeks to study the history and present impacts of UNC on surrounding communities. The purpose is to understand the impact that the university has had historically and in the present, for instance on Native communities whose land UNC resides on (or has profited from the sale of), and people who were enslaved from or who otherwise have contributed or contribute now to the building and maintenance of the university. This will be part of the classes of Danielle Purifoy and Sara Smith, where students will take up questions generated by community members. It will also include undergraduate and graduate students who wish to participate.

This project seeks to understand the relationship between race, technology, and people's mobility. In the past several years, there has been increased attention to making our technologies more humane and accessible to diverse populations.
