Funded Activity Summary

With an ageing population, the health burdens of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD) are numerous. We have found a role for a PD suspectibility gene, PARK9, in autophagy- a neuroprotective degradative pathway, that may also be involved in keeping ÎSyn, a pivitol protein in PD, levels in check.
