  • Research Grant, 2023
    Development of a Protein Biomarker Panel to Measure Parkinson’s Disease Heterogeneity and Progression

    Study Rationale: According to The Michael J. Fox Foundation, the need for biomarkers that provide an objective assessment for Parkinson’s disease (PD) “has become more urgent as more projects enter...

  • Data-Driven Subtyping and Stratification Program, 2023
    Identifying Proteomic Biomarkers for Monitoring the Progression of Parkinson’s Pathophysiology

    Study Rationale: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is often diagnosed at a stage where the disease has progressed significantly, restricting treatment options and limiting the opportunity to understand how the...

  • Circuits & Cellular Targets for PD’s Symptoms, 2023
    Pathophysiology of Neural Circuits Underlying Pain in Prodromal to Advanced Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: Many people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) suffer from pain that is not managed well by existing therapies. We believe the ineffectiveness of these treatment strategies may be due to a...

  • Accelerating Biological Understanding and Therapeutic Translation for Parkinson’s Disease Program, 2023
    Surviving on Borrowed Energy: Using Mitochondrial Transfer to Treat Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: By the time the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) appear, many of the brain cells that produce the chemical dopamine have already died. This loss of dopamine-making cells leads to...

  • Data-Driven Subtyping and Stratification Program, 2023
    Using Machine Learning on Longitudinal Data from Multiple Cohorts to Determine Biological Subtypes and Prediction Scores for Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: We used to think of Parkinson's disease (PD) as a single disorder. However, individuals with PD can be very different in terms of their clinical characteristics and the biological...

  • Research Grant, 2023
    (Supplement) PET Imaging Probe Development for Alpha-synuclein

    Study Rationale: Alpha-synuclein is a protein that can clump to form Lewy bodies and lewy neurites, which are a hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Being able to identify these clumps in living patients...
