Research Grant, 2015Parallel Reaction Monitoring within the Parkin Ubiquitin Ligase System
Study Rationale:
Recent studies have revealed a role for PINK1 and PARKIN, two genes mutated in early onset Parkinson’s disease, function to promote a cellular process called ubiquitylation of... -
Therapeutic Pipeline Program, 2015Effects of Transcranial Stimulation on Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Study Rationale:
Many people with Parkinson's disease experience freezing of gait, when the person is unable to move forward, despite his or her best efforts. Although it is not exactly clear why or... -
Access to Data & Biospecimens, 2015NeuroX profiling of samples from the PPMI prodromal and genetic cohorts, the LRRK2 cohort consortium and the BioFIND cohort
Study Rationale:
This work aims to provide genetic information at common genetic variants and rare genetic variants that have been associated with Parkinson disease. To do this...

Access to Data and Biospecimens, 2015BioFIND: Analysis of A-beta, Tau and P-tau in CSF Samples
Study Rationale: Mixed pathology is common in all neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Three cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, Ab1-42, t-tau and p-tau181, provide an...

Access to Data and Biospecimens, 2015New Tools for Direct Visualization of Individual Oligomers in Human Biofluids
Objective/Rationale: We have developed a completely new optical technique called SOAP imaging (single oligomers of amlyoidigenic proteins). This can be used to directly visualize the protein clumps...
