🎥 It was a pleasure to speak with Alberto J Espay of University of Cincinnati at #AANAM to learn about the αSyn-SAA test, which detects pathological α-synuclein in the CSF of patients with #Parkinsons by harnessing the physics of seeding in the lab. Watch here: 👉 ow.ly/6rp550VHb29


I am honored to deliver the Weiner Family Memorial Lecture this Wednesday at Univ. of Maryland, in memory of Prof. Bill Weiner, a visionary who challenged dogma in Parkinson’s research. His bold 2008 paper said it first: "There is no single Parkinson disease." jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

I am excited to visit Cornell University tomorrow to learn from Jacqueline Burré and Manu Sharma, whose labs are blazing new trails on α-synuclein in neurodegeneration. Their 2023 paper is already a classic. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



We thank Outeiro for the open dialogue on interpreting the α-synuclein seed amplification assay (αSyn-SAA) in #Parkinsons. We agree on many things. Our main contention: pathology is not a measure of pathogenesis or risk. αSyn-SAA is no 'brain cholesterol' sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
