Whilst current therapies do offer symptomatic relief from debilitating cognitive and motor symptoms, no clinically approved drug intervenes at the root cause, meaning disease progression cannot be prevented. In addition, emerging therapeutics which show great promise in animal models often fail to translate in the clinical setting, with even the most successful clinical trials reporting incremental benefit, often capped by dose limiting toxicity.To address this, we are partnering with Parkinson’s UK to develop precise, next-generation therapies which target true disease-modifying nodes in previously unimagined ways. As Parkinson’s is a multi-pathway pathology, spanning oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, the efficacy of single pathway approaches is constrained. Therefore, we will target master homeostatic regulators which can simultaneously correct numerous impaired pathways, changing the disease course. We believe this has the potential to transform patient lives by slowing, halting, or even reversing disease progression.Our ApproachWe’re currently building an , working backwards from the desired high level outcome to develop curative therapeutics for Parkinson’s.RequirementsWho Should ApplyMost suitable candidates will likely meet multiple of the following criteria:
