  • Research Grant, 2018
    Optimization of Probe-ELISA Parkin Activity Assay

    Promising Outcomes of Original Grant:
    Certain forms of Parkinson's are due to defects in a cellular regulatory node known as the PINK1-Parkin pathway. With previous funding from MJFF, we sought to...

  • Research Grant, 2018
    Evaluating the Therapeutic Potential of the Systemic Antagonism of Dopamine Receptor D3

    Promising Outcomes of Original Grant:
    Parkinson's disease involves toxic forms of certain proteins (e.g., alpha-synuclein) in the brain, which trigger an immune response driven by inflammatory...

  • Research Grant, 2018
    Structure-Based Design of Small-Molecule Activators of Parkin

    Promising Outcomes of Original Grant:
    The protein Parkin requires activation by another enzyme called PINK1. With previous MJFF funding, we identified a new class of chemical fragments that could be...

  • LRRK2 Biology Consortium, 2018
    LRRK2 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Gastrointestinal Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale:
    Parkinson's disease (PD) affects nearly any body system, as evidenced by the diversity of its symptoms. While its non-motor symptoms, such as olfactory dysfunction, rapid eye movement...

  • Research Grant, 2018
    Searching Brain Scan Data for Patterns of Activity Associated with Parkinson's Disease

    Study Rationale:
    There is a pressing need for Parkinson's disease (PD) biomarkers -- objective measures of disease -- that will enable early and accurate diagnosis and allow to track disease...

  • Computational Science, 2018
    Brain-inspired Computer Analysis of Complex Parkinson's Disease Data

    Study Rationale:
    Clinical research as well as wearable devices and phone apps used by people with Parkinson's disease (PD) generate large volumes of data, such as genetic and imaging data and data on...
