  • Biomarkers to Support Therapeutic Trials Program, 2023
    Using the Chemical Modification of Alpha-synuclein to Define Disease State and Facilitate Patient Stratification in Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: Novel disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease (PD) are urgently needed as the prevalence of the disease is increasing and no cure is available. At this point, we have...

  • Accelerating Biological Understanding and Therapeutic Translation for Parkinson’s Disease Program, 2023
    Targeting the Dopamine D1 Receptor for a Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease with Minimal L-DOPA-induced Dyskinesia

    Study Rationale: L-DOPA is the primary drug used for treating the mobility loss that occurs in Parkinson’s disease (PD) due to decreases in dopamine. Although L-DOPA enhances mobility, chronic...

  • Research Grant, 2023
    Evaluation of a Digital Therapeutics (DTx) Mobile App and Algorithm for Personalized Medication and Treatment Plan Optimization for People with Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have few options for keeping their symptoms under control. An app that could automatically monitor PD symptoms, like tremors, could allow users to...

  • Biomarkers to Support Therapeutic Trials Program, 2023
    Using Neurophysiology as a Stratification Tool for Synucleinopathy

    Study Rationale: Although numerous disease-modifying drugs are being developed for Parkinson’s disease (PD), the current methods used to identify people suitable for clinical trials are costly...

  • Research Grant, 2023
    Understand Me for Life: Using Noise-augmented Automatic Speech Recognition to Improve Intelligibility in Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: Most people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) develop voice and speech problems at some point during the course of the disease. Such problems, collectively known as the motor speech...

  • Translational Pipeline Program, 2023
    Inhibiting Faulty DNA Repair as a Strategy for Preventing Neuronal Loss in Parkinson’s Disease

    Study Rationale: Cells have mechanisms for repairing damaged DNA. Unfortunately, these repair mechanisms can themselves become inefficient and error-prone as we age — leading to the accumulation of...
