Epidemiological Parkinson's Risk Modifiers, 2019Study in Finnish Population to Identify Therapies with Repurposing Potential for Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
Effective treatments for slowing the progression of Parkinson’s disease are urgently needed. Searching for possible treatments among drugs already used for other indications is a... -
Epidemiological Parkinson's Risk Modifiers, 2019Study in Norwegian Population to Identify Therapies with Repurposing Potential for Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
There are not yet medicines that can prevent or slow Parkinson’s disease. Developing a new therapeutic can cost up to 2.6 billion dollars and takes many years of screening, chemistry... -
Therapeutic Pipeline Program, 2019Biomaterial-enhanced Cellular Brain Repair for Parkinson's Disease
Study Rationale:
One promising approach for the treatment of Parkinson’s is to replace the cells that have died in the disease through transplantation of healthy cells into the brain. However, this... -
Epidemiological Parkinson's Risk Modifiers, 2019Study in French Population to Identify Therapies with Repurposing Potential for Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
There is an urgent need to identify effective, safe and inexpensive drugs for Parkinson’s disease, and over past years, there has been increasing interest on ways to repurpose... -
Research Grant, 2019Pathogenesis of the Virome in Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale:
Numerous studies have implicated viruses as causal factors or potential triggers for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our study will provide a comprehensive understanding of all the viral... -
Astrocyte Biology in Parkinson's Disease, 2019Astrocyte Gene Expression in Parkinson’s Interrogated Using Single Cell Nuclear RNA Sequencing
Study Rationale:
Astrocytes are one of the major non-neuron cell types in the brain and control many neurological processes. They are likely to be changed in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may...
