  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2011
    Fractalkine-CX3Cr1 Signaling in Models of Parkinson Disease: Quest for Novel Therapeutic Strategies

    Objective/Rationale: 
    Microglia, one of the key players in neuroinflammation, are increased in number and activated in the brains of Parkinson’s disease (PD) or pre-clinical models of PD. A recent...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2011
    The Development of Novel Adeno-associated Virus Vectors for Intravenous Parkinson's Gene Therapy

    Objective/Rationale:
    As Parkinson disease progresses, a wide range of brain areas exhibit evidence of inflammation and degeneration, but presently no therapies exist that selectively target these...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2011
    Developing and Characterizing Anti-Alpha-Synuclein Nanobodies from an Immune Phage Display Library

    Objective/Rationale:
    This project uses a novel approach to deal with alpha-synuclein, which accumulates abnormally in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Cutting-edge recombinant antibody technologies will...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2011
    Ability of a Mitochondria Improver, Berberine, to Attenuate Parkinson's Disease

    Objective/Rationale: 
    Mitochondrial dysfunction is a central modification underlying the damage of dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our hypothesis is that drugs able to stabilise...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2011
    Alpha-synuclein May Be Responsible for the Link Between Parkinson's Disease and Melanoma

    Objective/Rationale: 
    Although the association between Parkinson’s disease (PD) and melanoma has been well established, biological explanations are still lacking. PD-causing gene alpha-synuclein is...

  • MJFF Research Grant, 2011
    Identification of Nrf2 Activators Using an In Silico Modeling Platform, Followed by Evaluation of These Compounds in an Alpha-Synuclein Model of PD

    Objective/Rationale: 
    Oxidative stress has been implicated in the etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Under such conditions, the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor (Nrf2) binds to antioxidant...
