Research Grant, 2025A Meta-Analysis of Single Nucleus Allele Specific Expression to Investigate Parkinson's Disease
Study Rationale: We will study “allele-specific expression” to understand how DNA variants relevant to Parkinson’s disease impact the expression of genes. By looking in each cell, we can check whether...

Research Grant, 2025Identifying and Pilot Testing Best Practices for Sharing Amyloid PET Research Information with Individuals Living with Lewy Body Diseases
Study Rationale: Biomarkers are tests that measure something about a person’s health. Research studies often include biomarkers, but research participants may or may not receive the results. This...

Research Grant, 2026Biofluid Markers in Multiple System Atrophy
Study Rationale:
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson’s disease present with similar clinical symptoms, especially at early stages. Though both involve the abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein...
-
Research Grant, 2026Parkinson’s Clinical Cohorts Collaborative (PC3)
Study Rationale:
Effective treatments for the symptoms of Parkinson’s exist, but none slow its progression. Inability to measure or predict future progression are major obstacles to...
-
Research Grant, 2026Parallelized Digital Seed Amplification Assay for PD Biomarker Development
Study Rationale:
The amplification of small quantities of misfolded protein aggregates from clinical samples offers an attractive route towards developing sensitive diagnostics for a...
-
Research Grant, 2026Multiscale Measurement of O-GlcNAc Changes in Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
Directly targeting the toxic aggregation of α-synuclein by drugs is very challenging. However, this protein is modified by different chemical groups that have the...
