Abu-Remaileh, an assistant professor of chemical engineering and of genetics, and Pfeffer, the Emma Pfeiffer Merner Professor in Medical Sciences, have been selected to join the Collaborative Research Network, powered by the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s initiative and in partnership with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Together, this network is mapping the biological blueprint of Parkinson’s disease and accelerating the path to new treatments. Over the next three years, the team, which also includes researchers from the University of Dundee, will receive grant funding of up to $9 million in support of their research, which is focused on studying pathway similarities between forms of inherited Parkinson’s. Abu-Remaileh will also serve as co-principal investigator on another Collaborative Research Network team, which includes Bassik, an associate professor of genetics, and Wernig, a professor of pathology. The team, which includes a researcher from Weill Cornell Medicine Qatar, will receive grant funding up to $9 million in support of their research, which is focused on investigating alpha-synuclein pathology formation and clearance in a novel triculture model.
