Molecular Therapeutics Initiative@MTI_UCB
🧠 Announcing the 2026 MTI Parkinson’s Therapeutics Awardees! The Molecular Therapeutics Initiative (@MTI_UCB) is turbo-charging three bold projects with $90,000 each and full access to our drug-discovery and medicinal-chemistry capabilities. With Parkinson’s afflicting more than ten million people worldwide, and prevalence only continuing to rise, these awards spotlight @UCBerkeley's drive to deliver disease-modifying solutions. Meet the 2026 awardees 👇 🧬 Ross Wilson & Hanqin Li - Lowering toxic α-synuclein via precision genome editing to stop Lewy-body formation before it starts. 📍 Innovative Genomics Institute #CRISPR #ProteinToxicity #MTIAwards 🔬 Markita Landry & Stephan Lammel - Rebuilding dopamine circuitry with regenerative TFs and near-infrared nanosensors for real-time readouts. 📍 College of Chemistry & Department of Neuroscience #Neuroscience #CircuitRestoration #Nanosensors ⚡ Eunyong Park & Laurie Wang - Discovering small molecules that boost PINK1-mediated mitophagy, safeguarding mitochondrial health in PD. 📍 Department of Molecular & Cell Biology #Mitochondria #SmallMolecules #DrugDiscovery 💡 These three teams are tackling protein toxicity, circuit failure, and mitochondrial dysfunction - the engines that drive Parkinson’s progression. MTI’s integrated ecosystem will help translate their discoveries into tomorrow’s therapies.
