1 ANIMAL MODELS OF PARKINSON S DISEASE: STATE OF THE FIELD & THE FUTURE! KULDIP DAVE 21 February 217
2 MJFF IS THE WORLD S LARGEST NONPROFIT FUNDER OF PD RESEARCH Our Mission To accelerate the development of improved therapies, and ultimately a cure, for people living with Parkinson s disease today. Vital Stats» Founded in 2 by actor Michael J. Fox» Public charity» Nearly 7, donors in 215 (individuals, corporations, nonprofits)» No chapters: team of 14 based in NYC» 3,3 grassroots fundraisers reaching 15, supporters worldwide in 215» 89 cents on every dollar spent goes directly into research» More than $65 million in research programs funded to date» $87.8 million in research programs funded in 215» Nearly 2,1 projects funded to date» 55 active grants in current portfolio» 33% of funded projects are led by researchers outside the United States» Fund academics, biotechs and pharma 2
3 MJFF RESEARCH PRIORITIES DISEASE MODIFYING SYMPTOMATIC FIELD-WIDE CHALLENGES LRRK2 Alphasynuclein Motor Symptoms Non-Motor Symptoms Biomarkers Clinical Trial Recruitment Emerging Targets GBA1 & Parkin Emerging Targets Research Tools We prioritize and pursue research in these areas, providing financial and intellectual support for projects from discovery through the clinic to ensure progress toward new therapies for PD patients. 3
4 State of the field & MJFF Strategy» Challenges Many toxin and genetic models exist, however, none have closely recapitulated all of PD-related pathology and symptomology. Outcome measures may or may not be relevant to human condition; limited translation of preclinical findings. Lack of standardization in outcome measures and methodologies for characterization; animal models on the market that have not been independently phenotyped. Inability to compare across laboratories, sheer lack of replication!. IP/patent issues, restrictions on use, huge label license fees lead to limited availability.» Strategy Identification: Prioritize field-enabling animal models that will fill gaps and advance research. Generation: Contract with expert CROs to generate models, and make basic characterization data available to the community. Characterization: Collaborate with relevant CROs to phenotype MJFF-generated animal models. Replication: Partner with CROs to independently characterize and replicate existing models. Distribution: Work with vendors to facilitate wide distribution to both for-profit and not for profit researchers. 4
