    Validating the Electrocardiogram as a Tool to Identify Pre-motor Parkinson's Disease

    Promising Outcomes of Original Grant:
    Our goal in the funded RRIA was to determine if a 5 minute EKG recordings in patients with a high probably of having pre-motor PD, i.e., individuals with...

  • Research Grant, 2009
    Biomarkers of Pioglitazone Effects in Parkinson's Disease (BioPEP)

    Objective/Rationale
    Pioglitazone is a medication used to treat diabetes that that has shown promise in laboratory studies for potentially slowing the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2009
    Glycine Uptake Inhibitors as Potential Enhancers of Dopaminergic Axon Regeneration

    Objective/Rationale
    An important goal in Parkinson’s disease therapy is to restore the loss of the dopaminergic innervation of the striatum. Cell culture data from our lab indicate that activation of...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2009
    Multi-site Coordinated Reset Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus
