Our Public Lecture Series continues Sept. 6 with "2023 Parkinson’s Update: What’s new? What’s next?" feat. Dr. Darren Moore (@MooreLabVAI) and Dr. Laurent Roybon. The lecture is free to attend, and in-person and virtual options are available. Register: vai.org/event/2023-par…
Repairing broken brain circuits may offer a path to new #Parkinsons treatments, reports a new study by VAI’s Dr. Hong-yuan Chu (@ChuHongyuan) and collaborators published in @ScienceAdvances: vai.org/pd-circuits-chu
It was an honor to host @parisiadoulab1 at @VAInstitute as a part of the Department of Neurodegenerative Science Seminar Series! She presented amazing data on cell subtype-specific LRRK2 dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.

Dr. Darren Moore (@MooreLabVAI) spoke with @WOODTV ahead of #WorldParkinsonsDay about the importance of #Parkinsons research and awareness — watch the interview below! #ParkinsonsAwareness

By modeling how aggregation of alpha-synuclein in vulnerable cells impairs neuronal cortical network function, the @BiedererLab team will gain insight into targeted therapeutic treatments of #PD. #ASAPGrantees @MXHend @DaniSBassett @mjhigley
Congratulations to our very own @MXHend for this prestigious award! #ASAP_CRN #Parkinsons #Collab
.@ASAP_Research has awarded a team of scientists from VAI, @Yale & @Penn a $9 million grant to identify areas and cell types in the brain that may be particularly vulnerable to #Parkinsons disease. Congrats to VAI’s @MXHend & collaborators! bit.ly/3BgyrIq
Congratulations to our very own @ChuHongyuan for this prestigious award! #ASAP_CRN #Parkinsons #Collab
Scientists at @EmoryUniversity, VAI, @sunydownstate and @Inscopix received a $6.3 million award from @ASAP_Research to investigate motor cortical disturbances caused by #Parkinsons. Congratulations to VAI's @ChuHongyuan & colleagues! Read more: bit.ly/3bbv235
