MJFF Parkinson's Disease Proteoforms Program

Funds proteoform-focused Parkinson's research to strengthen molecular evidence and translational targets.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Disease Proteoforms Program funds high-resolution proteoform profiling of Parkinson's disease brain and biofluids, with a focus on generating datasets that can accelerate biomarker and therapeutic target discovery. MJFF, which has raised over $2 billion for PD research since its founding in 2000, structured this program around two distinct tracks: Track 1,

Funds high-resolution proteoform profiling of Parkinson's disease brain and biofluids using MJFF-provided tissue, across two tracks: proteome-wide characterization and tau proteoform biology.
