A-syn seeding assay: what is it and how can it support clinical trials? (Rallying 2023)

Rallying to the Challenge 2023 - DAY 1.
Featuring Anaya Navangul from Cure Parkinson's
In this talk, Anaya Navangul goes over a recent study which demonstrates how an alpha-synuclein seeding assay (test) could be used for early Parkinson's detection by identifying the presence of abnormal copies of the protein alpha-synuclein - a common driver of Parkinson's progression.
This talk was given as a part of the Rallying to the Challenge meeting, hosted by Cure Parkinson's and the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 27-28, 2023. Rallying to the Challenge is a meeting designed for and by people with Parkinson’s, advocates, and care partners to explore how the Parkinson’s community can impact and accelerate research. It is a part of the larger Grand Challenges in Parkinson's Disease meeting, an annual scientific symposium for Parkinson's research.
