2024 BIDMC Annual Research Retreat

Simon Lab members attended the research retreat. Alejandra and Emily presented "Pharmacological stabilization of the retromer complex results in the reduction of α-synuclein accumulation and in the control of α-synuclein clearance pathways" and joined in conversations about the latest research at...

Our Scientific Approach

Our lab focuses on unraveling the biochemistry and neuropathology underlying this complex neurodegenerative disorder. We take a systems-level approach to investigate the molecular mechanisms driving disease progression, particularly focusing on key protein pathways, including VPS35, USP30, LRRK2...

LRRK2 and Rab proteins

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a critical protein associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly through its influence on the endolysosomal system and the clearance of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) aggregates. The G2019S mutation in LRRK2 is the most prevalent...
