This $463,693 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund the development of an "Integrated Framework for Recording and Decoding Multimodal Neural Associations of Visual Hallucinations and Motor Functions in Parkinson's Disease." The primary research institution is the University of Rhode Island, which will collaborate with Butler Hospital to execute this 3-year project starting September 2024. The project aims to...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $156,238 awarded on January 1, 2023 will fund research at Colorado State University to develop analytical tools combining heterogeneous genetic and molecular data sources to identify genetic modifiers of Parkinson's disease. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the researchers will use a hierarchical three-group mixture model to probabilistically model genes as null, deleterious, or beneficial based on genome-wide...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Brainstorm Therapeutics, Inc. aims to develop and validate a novel Parkinson's disease drug discovery platform using patient-derived midbrain organoids. The platform will guide therapeutic candidate identification, patient selection, and trial endpoint refinement to accelerate the development of effective disease-modifying Parkinson's treatments. Key innovations...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems grant awarded to Purdue University, under CFDA 47.041 Engineering, provides $248,827 to develop a fluorescent imaging method to study protein-membrane interactions in brain cells. This research aims to further the understanding of Parkinson's disease, which may be caused by the clumping and spread of the alpha-synuclein protein in the brain. The project involves two graduate students...
The federal Project Grant award of $173,140 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will support research to elucidate the role of neural activity in the degeneration of midbrain dopamine neurons in Parkinson's disease. The project aims to utilize novel mouse models to chronically manipulate the activity and dopamine metabolism within dopamine neurons,...
