Had a wonderful & engaging meeting at Grand Challenges in Parkinson's disease earlier this month! It was good to see lab alumni Jamie and Mike @hndlab.bsky.social !
It was an honor for PhD students @mallnutt.bsky.social and @leaheharmon.bsky.social to be part of the Connecticut contingent at last week's Parkinson's Policy Forum Hill Day run by the Michael J Fox Foundation and @apdaparkinsons.bsky.social to advocate for funding for Parkinson's research!
Our paper exploring the link between cognitive deficits and GBA mutations in Parkinson's disease is out now in Nature Communications. Congratulations to @vidyadharadj.bsky.social and all of the authors on the success of their hard work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Lipofuscin accumulates in the brain with age and neurodegeneration. But what is it, where does it come from, and where does it go? The @schandralab.bsky.social built a lipofuscin brain atlas and shed light on its composition.

Lipofuscin is an autofluorescent material that accrues in brain tissues with age and in Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL), a neurodegenerative disease with pediatric onset. The distribution, compos...
Breakthrough ideas need more than a laboratory—they need a clear path to real-world impact. Since 2017, Yale University and the Blavatnik Family Foundation have partnered to accelerate promising disco...

GBA, a major gene for Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, is associated with increased risk of developing dementia. Here, we demonstrate that GBA mutations in mice contribute to cognitive deficits through α-synuclein-independent mechanisms that impact synaptic vesicle endocytosis.
