Mitochondrial Biomarkers for Parkinson's disease

The Foundation seeks to support one-to-two year grants that will develop new or improved tools to identify mitochondrial biomarkers for Parkinson's disease. The specific goals of this initiative are to facilitate the discovery and development of mitochondrial biomarkers for: 

• Assess PD diagnosis, disease progression, and/or patient stratification; and 
• Identify mitochondrial readouts that would inform therapeutic efficacy and target engagement, or
• Uncover novel mitochondrial targets relevant to PD
