Research Group for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy KU Leuven
The laboratory for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy is committed to gain insight in the underlying pathology of Parkinson's Disease (PD) and more recently Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), on both the molecular and cellular level. We are specifically focussing on the proteins α-synuclein and LRRK2, two key players in sporadic and familial PD. The underlying idea is that better disease models and insights in the molecular pathogenesis are required ...
