Aims

Will investigate the build-up of alpha-synuclein, a key protein implicated in the development of dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease. In this pioneering project, Prof Jody Mason will identify proteins that could effectively stop the build-up of toxic alpha-synuclein and be developed towards future drugs.
