• Grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation
• Abstract: Alpha-Synuclein (aS) aggregation is a key pathophysiological event associated with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The process of aS aggregation leads to the degeneration of DA neurons, a pathological hallmark of PD. Modulation of aS aggregation is widely considered to be a promising potential therapeutic intervention for PD. Our lab has identified aS sequences that are essential for aS aggregation using foldamers. The study will enable the identification of novel foldamers as therapeutic leads for the treatment of PD.
