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).

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.
