Investigation of the extracellular matrix as a regulator of Parkinson’s progression

University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences

Parkinson’s is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting around 1 in 20 people aged over 65. In the UK, the number of affected people is set to rise by 50% over the next 50 years due to ageing populations. Read more

Examining the dysfunction of DNA damage repair in synucleinopathies

University of Dundee School of Medicine

DNA damage is an emerging stressor implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Our recent research within post-mortem dementia with Lewy body brain tissue has highlighted the dysregulation of several DNA damage repair pathways, alongside the occurrence of a novel nuclear alpha-synuclein pathology.

Investigating Lysosomal Dysfunction in Ageing and Neurodegeneration

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Lysosomes are key cellular organelles that degrade and recycle macromolecules, act as signalling hubs and are implicated in many diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) where old age is a major risk factor. Read more

Role of the endosomal pathway in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Ageing and many neurodegenerative disorders are characterised by a progressive loss of neurons in particular brain regions leading to behavioural changes including cognitive decline, sleep disruption and circadian dysregulation. Read more
