Research Grants
- APP, Alzheimer's Disease, and Synaptic FunctionTHOMAS SUDHOF; Fiscal Year: 2007..Together these studies will contribute to our understanding of APP function and Abeta toxicity in AD, and may suggest new avenues for interfering with the pathogenesis of AD. ..
- SYNUCLEIN FUNCTIONS: ROLE IN PARKINSON'S DISEASETHOMAS SUDHOF; Fiscal Year: 2003..We anticipate that these experiments will establish a molecular understanding of synuclein functions in the brain and provide insight into the role of an alpha synuclein in Parkinson's disease. ..
- A systematic test of the relation of ASD heterogeneity to synaptic functionTHOMAS C contact SUDHOF; Fiscal Year: 2010..This project will address these issues by studying the changes in neuron-to-neuron communication caused by the genes associated with autism. ..
