About
My research is focused on the development of a novel Parkinson’s disease model – Central to the development of new treatments for any human disease is the availability of models that replicate classic features of the disease. In Parkinson’s disease research, the development of new therapies is hampered by the lack of availability of such a model. However, recent studies have shown that administration of the pesticide rotenone causes a movement disorder and neuropathology reminiscent of human Parkinsonism. Thus, this project aims to generate a novel intracerebral rotenone model that will facilitate the development of novel treatments for Parkinson’s disease. This project is funded by Science Foundation, Ireland.
