An NIH R21 grant has been awarded to Joanna (Asia) Korecka, in Instructor in the Division and Lab. Dr Laurie Cox, an Assistant Professor of Neurology, is co-PI. The grant is entitled, “Investigating how the microbiota modulates neuroinflammatory signaling and neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease and dementia.” The work builds from a very exciting study our lab is spearheading with collaborators in Spain to identify the cause of variable penetrance in a family harboring a dominant alpha-synuclein mutation. Congratulations, Asia and Laurie!!!
