MRI Biomarkers Program, 2025Validate Diffusion MRI Biomarkers of Early PD: A Multi-cohort Study of Free-water and CDM Measure
Study Rationale: Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies, such as Dementia with Lewy Bodies, are challenging to diagnose at their earliest stages due to subtle initial symptoms. Our research...

Parkinson’s Disease Therapeutics Pipeline Program, 2025Neuroprotective Therapy for PD Using Stabilizers of the LRRK2:14-3-3 Interaction, Supplement
Study Rationale: Our previous work shows that regulation of the phosphorylation of the Parkinson’s disease protein ‘leucine-rich repeat kinase 2’ (LRRK2) is a key mechanism controlling LRRK2...

ASAP CRN Competitive Renewal Opportunity, 2025Senescence in Parkinson’s Disease and Related Disorders
Study Rationale: While aging is the greatest risk factor for development of Parkinson’s disease (PD), how aging promotes PD is not fully understood. Examining the role of cellular senescence, a major...
-
MRI Biomarkers Program, 2025Molecular MRI Correlates of Parkinsonian Neurodegeneration
Study Rationale: New imaging tools for Parkinson’s disease (PD) are urgently needed to help accelerate the development of new treatments. A special type of MRI scan, CEST MRI, can detect changes in...

Neuronal Synuclein Disease Endotypes 2024, 2025Expanding Biomarker Characterization in Deeply Phenotyped DLB, PD and PDD Cohorts
-
Parkinson’s Disease Therapeutics Pipeline Program, 2025ACT-02 as a Disease-modifying Therapy for Parkinson’s
Study Rationale: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder marked by the loss of dopaminergic neurons, however the underlying exact reasons are still not fully understood...
