Research Grant, 2026Deep Mutational Scanning of TMEM175
Study Rationale:
Parkinson’s disease develops through a combination of ageing, environmental factors, and genetic risk. One gene linked to Parkinson’s is TMEM175, which encodes an...

Research Grant, 2026Cell Type Meta-eQTL Study in Human Brains
Study Rationale:
Parkinson’s (PD) genome-wide association study (GWAS) with ~1.5 million subjects identified 90 PD risk signals with ~7,000 non-coding PD...

Research Grant, 2026Genetically Encoded Fluorescent Biosensors for Live-cell, Subcellular Detection of Distinct α-synuclein Aggregation States
Study Rationale:
Alpha-synuclein (aSYN) is a critical protein in health and Parkinson’s disease (PD). aSYN has a soluble form and a series of increasingly aggregated forms. These...

Spring 2025 RFP: Accelerating Biological Understanding and Therapeutic Translation for PD-Biomarkers, 2026Oxylipin Profiles in LRRK2 Mutation Carriers: Biomarkers for Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves complex interactions between genetic factors, such as LRRK2 mutations, and lipid metabolism. Oxylipins, bioactive lipid mediators...

Research Grant, 2026Including a Watch to the Gait Substudy
Aims and Hypothesis:
Here we propose to leverage the gait sub-study and add a watch to a subset of participants who are anticipated to return for their second gait assessment. Such addition will enable...
