Uncovering the roots of Parkinson's disease, together

A global basic 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 Announces Protocol Particulars Series

ASAP has launched a new interview series where ASAP-funded researchers explain their protocols and share tips and best practices for utilizing them.

Collaborative Science Unlocks GBA1 Discovery

ASAP’s Managing Director Ekemini Riley reflects on the discovery of the first Parkinson’s disease genetic risk factor specific for African ancestry populations and highlights how GP2 is paving the way for impactful discoveries like this and more to come through its model of diverse, inclusive, and collaborative research.

New GBA Variant Linked to PD

Thanks in large part to the work of GP2 researchers, we are one step closer to understanding the genetic architecture of Parkinson’s Disease. Read our recently published article in The Lancet Neurology.
