  • 2022: Accelerated Therapeutics Program, 2022
    Preclinical and Early Clinical Development of NPT1220-478 for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

    Study Rationale: Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder; meaning that from its inception, neurons are continuously dying with resulting worsening of neurologic symptoms. Two...

  • Fall 2020 RFA: Therapeutic Pipeline Program-Pre-Clinical, 2022
    Targeting Colony-stimulating Factor 1 Receptor (CSF1R) to Modify Disease Progression in Preclinical Experimental Models of Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by pronounced neuroimmune dysfunction. Although the disease is very common, no therapy is available...

  • Research Grant, 2022
    Objectively Measuring the Severity of Vocal and Speech-related Symptoms Associated with Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: The ability to objectively measure vocal symptoms is necessary to better characterize the emergence and development of speech deficits, particularly in the early phases of Parkinson’s...

  • 2022: Accelerated Therapeutics Program, 2022
    Using Small Molecules that Modulate Mitochondrial Function for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

    Study Rationale: Dysfunction in energy-producing structures called mitochondria is a crucial driver of the initiation and progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Mitochondria in the cells of people...

  • Fall 2021 RFP: Accelerating Early Proof-of-Concept Testing of Promising PD Therapies, 2022
    Assessment of Alpha-synuclein Aggregation Inhibitor ASN121151 as a Potential New Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: Genetic defects in the gene encoding alpha-synuclein cause the protein to aggregate in the brains of people with a familial form of Parkinson’s disease (PD). We have developed a novel...

  • Alpha-synuclein Seed Amplification Assay Program, 2022
    Maximizing the Sensitivity of Seed Amplification Assays Used to Detect Alpha-synuclein Aggregates

    Study Rationale: One characteristic of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the aggregation of proteins such as alpha-synuclein in the brain. To diagnose PD, it is important to be able to detect such...
