Dr. Julie Andersen, a scientist and professor at Novato’s Buck Institute for Research on Aging, has received a $200,000 grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to study brain aging as a factor in Parkinson’s disease.
Andersen’s research has focused on lithium as a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease as well as its effectiveness when combined with drugs used to control the symptoms of the disease. Two previous studies conducted by Andersen’s lab found that low doses of lithium prevented symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in mice genetically engineered to develop the disease.
Also from the Buck Institute, Dr. Jennifer Garrison, an assistant professor, has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the American Federation for Aging Research to advance her work in researching the biology of aging and age-related diseases.
