Malin Parmar, professor of cellular neuroscience leading one of MultiPark's research groups, along with three researchers in Italy and Denmark, has been awarded the prestigious ERC Synergy Grant worth EUR 10 million. The four researchers aim to develop custom-made neurons from stem cells for cell therapies to treat Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease.
“We want to develop a completely new concept in stem cell therapy. Every patient is different and therefore we want to develop ways to custom make cells and stem cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Our focus in the project is on Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease,” says Malin Parmar.
