Restoring Endo-Lysosomal Function: Translational Biomarkers to Accelerate Parkinson’s Therapeutics

3:30 pm - Tuesday 3rd February 2026

  • Discovering metabolomic and lipidomic signatures of endolysosomal dysfunction in PD patients and healthy controls to define disease-relevant biomarker baselines
  • Validating pharmacodynamic biomarkers via small molecule target manipulation in cell and patient-derived samples to track treatment effects early in the pipeline
  • Accelerating drug discovery by using these biomarkers to derisk candidate selection, inform dose selection, and shorten time to clinical proof-of-concept in Parkinson’s
