  • Research Grant, 2022
    Development of Irreversible PET Radiotracers for Glucocerebrosidase

    Study Rationale: Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) is an enzyme that removes a sugar that is attached to certain fat molecules in the healthy brain. This critical biochemical process begins to malfunction...

  • Spring 2022 RFA: Target Advancement Program - Target Validation, 2022
    Production of Preclinical Model of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Using Alpha-synuclein Fibrils

    Study Rationale: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by abnormal motor behaviors during the REM phase of sleep and is highly predictive of Parkinson’s disease (PD). A brain region...

  • Therapeutic Pipeline Program, 2022
    Developing Selective Ion Channel Blockers that Reduce Neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: We are developing novel therapeutics to reduce brain inflammation and enhance the survival and function of brain cells in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Studies over the past decade have...

  • Spring 2022 RFP: Expanding Biological Understanding of Parkinson's Disease, 2022
    Assessing Genetic Predisposition to Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Young-onset and Late-onset Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: Constipation is a common, nonmotor manifestation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that can impact the quality of life of people with the condition. Yet little is known about the genetic...

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers, 2022
    Use of Novel Intestinal Imaging for Early Identification of Parkinson’s Disease and Assessment of Response to Therapies that Reduce Alpha-synuclein Accumulation

    Study Rationale: Changes in intestinal contractions are a common feature of early Parkinson’s disease (PD). These changes, which often occur before the onset of movement symptoms, are tied to the...

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers, 2022
    Dynamic Modeling and Prediction of Parkinsonian Symptom Progression

    Study Rationale: Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects different people in different ways. We believe that these differences can offer clues about what happens in the brain before people with PD even begin...
