Alamar Biosciences Announces Collaboration with The Michael J. Fox Foundation to Advance Parkinson’s Research Through Development of Next Generation Biomarker Assays | PR Newswire [Video]

, /PRNewswire/ — Alamar Biosciences, a company powering precision proteomics to enable the earliest detection of disease, is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) to accelerate biomarker discovery and improve our understanding of Parkinson’s disease (PD).  This collaboration aims to address the critical need for robust biological classification of PD and related neurodegenerative diseases. By leveraging Alamar’s advanced proteomics platform, the team will develop novel protein assays tailored to identifying key biomarkers associated with neuronal synuclein disease. 

In addition to partnering on efforts to expand the analytes in the NULISAseq™ CNS Disease Panel 120 to include additional PD-relevant targets, MJFF will also deploy the high-sensitivity NULISAseq™ CNS Disease Panel 120 and Inflammation Panel 250 to analyze roughly 5,000 samples from MJFF’s flagship longitudinal study, the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). Launched in 2010, PPMI has built the most robust dataset …
