Uncovering the roots of Parkinson's disease, together
A global research initiative
Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) is fostering collaboration and resources to better understand the underlying causes of Parkinson’s disease. With scale, transparency, and open access data sharing, we believe we can accelerate the pace of discovery, and inform the path to a cure.
ASAP is announcing two open competitive funding opportunities for the research community. These new grants will provide additional capital to spur discovery and inform the path to a cure for Parkinson’s disease research.
ASAP is launching a new video series, Discover ASAP, which highlights interviews of authors, grantees, and key opinion leaders in Parkinson’s research discussing top findings and tools connected to our ASAP network.
GP2 announced the eighth data release on the Terra and the Verily® Workbench platforms in collaboration with AMP® PD, which includes 5,481 additional whole genome sequences and 10,454 clinical exome sequences.
