  • Research Grant, 2016
    LRRK2 Safety Initiative

    Study Rationale:
    Previous pre-clinical work with Genentech, Inc. has demonstrated that LRRK2 kinase inhibitors may induce abnormal findings in the lungs. This study will determine if this result is due...

  • Research Grant, 2016
    SudoScan as a Biomarker of Parkinson's Disease

    Study Rationale:
    Currently, there is no single test that can be used to confirm a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) or a biomarker that can track its progression. People with PD have many...

    Targeting the Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response in Alpha-synuclein-induced Parkinson's Disease

    Study Rationale:
    The mitochondrial (powerhouse of the cell) unfolded protein response (mtUPR) is the first defense mechanism for maintaining proper quality of proteins within the mitochondria. Defects...

  • Research Grant, 2016
    Novel Quantification in Parkinson’s Disease Neurochemical Imaging

    Promising Outcomes of Original Grant:
    We hypothesized in the original funded grant that evaluation of texture and variability, beyond conventional averaging of voxel (element of space) intensities...

  • Research Grant, 2016
    Electrical Stimulation of the Brain as Parkinson's Disease Treatment

    Study Rationale:
    Depression is a common non-motor symptom associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), and impulse control disorders (ICDs) are behaviors that may arise with use of certain PD medications...

  • Research Grant, 2016
    Registry for the Advancement of Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy in Parkinson's Disease (RAD-PD)

    Study Rationale:
    Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) that may benefit those who experience motor complications, such as "off" periods and/or dyskinesia...
