CfMR scientists awarded major strategic funding in Parkinson's Disease
28 July 2010
The emphasis of the proposed work is to find genes
associated with a high risk of developing Parkinson's Disease and to
explore the functional consequences of mutations in those genes in
cells, animal models and patients.
|
As most of the PD related genes
identified to date involve mitochondria, there is a major focus on
mitochondrial function in PD embedded in this grant. The PIs involved in this proposal are all members of the CfMR. It is the biggest grant ever awarded for research into Parkinson’s in the UK. |
The
proposal was headed by Profs John
Hardy, Nick
Wood and Tony
Schapira. Co-investigators from the CfMR include Michael
Duchen, Andrey
Abramov, J
Mark Cooper and Jan
Willem Taanman.
