Therapeutic Pipeline Program, 2019Biomaterial-enhanced Cellular Brain Repair for Parkinson's Disease
Study Rationale:
One promising approach for the treatment of Parkinson’s is to replace the cells that have died in the disease through transplantation of healthy cells into the brain. However, this... -
Epidemiological Parkinson's Risk Modifiers, 2019Study in French Population to Identify Therapies with Repurposing Potential for Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
There is an urgent need to identify effective, safe and inexpensive drugs for Parkinson’s disease, and over past years, there has been increasing interest on ways to repurpose... -
Research Grant, 2019Pathogenesis of the Virome in Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
Numerous studies have implicated viruses as causal factors or potential triggers for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our study will provide a comprehensive understanding of all the viral... -
Astrocyte Biology in Parkinson's Disease, 2019Astrocyte Gene Expression in Parkinson’s Interrogated Using Single Cell Nuclear RNA Sequencing
Study Rationale:
Astrocytes are one of the major non-neuron cell types in the brain and control many neurological processes. They are likely to be changed in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may... -
Astrocyte Biology in Parkinson's Disease, 2019Characterization of Astrocytes in Aging and Lewy Body Pathology
Study Rationale:
Astrocytes are brain cells with crucial roles, including communication between nerve cells, clearance of unwanted material, and response to injury. It has been suggested that... -
Research Grant, 2019Long-acting GM-CSF Fusion Protein (PDM608) for the Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
Emerging evidence suggests that the modulating the peripheral immune system can be a powerful disease-modifying approach for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). We have...
