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.

A brain bank and laboratory focused on memory and motor disorders. Brains are sent to the laboratory for diagnosis and research for the State of Florida Alzheimer Disease Initiative and for the Society for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. As part of this brain banking function, fixed and frozen brain samples are obtained at autopsy and sent to the laboratory for diagnostic evaluation and for various types of research studies. The major types of analyses performed on the brain samples include neuro-histology, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, electron microscopy and image analysis, as well as immunoassays. The latter are based upon Western blotting and enzyme linked immunoassays. The laboratory has a specific interest in the interface between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, as well as in non-Alzheimer's degenerative disorders such as Lewy body dementia, corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy and frontotemporal dementia. The primary focus of research on aging is neuropathologic characterization of brains of individuals who had been prospectively and longitudinally evaluated during life. These studies aim to determine differences in a range of biologic parameters in brains of people with normal cognitive, mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Their focus on Parkinson's disease is to identify preclinical Parkinson's disease in order to develop means for early diagnosis.

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.
