An open international project under the patronage of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) that aims: To analyze the brain proteome of human as well as mouse models in healthy, neurodiseased and aged status with focus on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease; To perform quantitative proteomics as well as complementary gene expression profiling on disease-related brain areas and bodily fluids; To advance knowledge of neurodiseases and aging in order to push new diagnostic approaches and medications; To exchange knowledge and data with other HUPO projects and national / international initiatives in the neuroproteomic field; To make neuroproteomic research and its results available in the scientific community and society. Recent work has shown that standards in proteomics and especially in bioinformatics are mandatory to allow comparable analyses, but still missing. To address this challenge, the HUPO BPP is closely working together with the HUPO Proteome Standards Initiative (HUPO PSI).

http://www.ppmi-info.org/

An observational longitudinal clinical study partnership to identify and validate biomarkers of Parkinson disease (PD) progression and provide easy and open web-based access to the comprehensive set of correlated clinical data and biospecimens, information, and biosamples acquired from PD and age and gender matched healthy control subjects to the research community. The data and specimens have been collected in a standardized manner under strict protocols and includes clinical (demographic, motor and non-motor, cognitive and neurobehavioral), imaging (raw and processed MRI, SPECT and DAT), and blood chemistry and hematology subject assessments and biospecimen inventories (serum, plasma, whole blood, CSF, DNA, RNA and urine). All data are de-identified to protect patient privacy. PPMI will be carried out over five years at 21 clinical sites in the United States and Europe and requires the participation of 400 Parkinson's patients and 200 control participants. The PPMI database provides researchers with access to correlated clinical and imaging data, along with annotated biospecimens, all available within an open access system that encourages data sharing (http://www.ppmi-info.org/access-data-specimens/). The website hosts an Ongoing Analysis section to keep the scientific community apprised of analyses being completed, in hopes of stimulating collaborations between researchers who are using PPMI data and specimens.

https://sbpdiscovery.org/tag/neuroscienceandagingresearchcenter/

Center that translates basic science discoveries into new treatments to extend lifespan and to combat degenerative disorders associated with aging or development. Their researchers are discovering the etiological pathways as well as small-molecule and stem cell-based treatments to address the clinical unmet need of these patients. The Center uses a team based approach to apply their expertise in stem cells to develop therapies for new treatments for stroke and Parkinson's disease. They are also performing high-throughput screens to identify new molecules to protect the synapses of nervesthe connections between nerves that mediate movement, memory and cognition for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and autism. By studying the links between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease, they are exploring new treatments to improve cognition in both disorders. Their collaborations with clinical partners enable them to test new discoveries in human trials, with a goal to improve the lives of patients and families affected by neurodegenerative disease and aging disorders.
