Nanoplastics could promote Parkinson’s disease
Read about how Team Liddle recently found that nanoplastics are an emerging environmental risk factor for neurological diseases.
Highlights
The Collaborative Research Network (CRN), as part of the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative, is committed to highlighting the people, discoveries, and collaborations driving progress in Parkinson’s research. Through featured stories, events, and shared resources, we showcase the impact of open science and collective effort across the network. By celebrating both individual and team achievements, we help build a stronger, more connected research community. Explore how CRN and ASAP are advancing science together.
News & Updates
Our network shares updates through recurring blogs and is recognized for our research contributions in external news outlets. Stay up to date with the latest news, announcements, and discoveries from across the CRN. Explore how our teams are advancing research, building collaborations, and driving progress in Parkinson’s science.
Discover ASAP
Discover ASAP is a video series highlighting top findings and tools connected to the ASAP network – including the CRN. Featured videos include interviews of authors, grantees, and opinion leaders in Parkinson’s research discussing their discoveries and related outputs. See how ASAP and the CRN are advancing open, collaborative science to accelerate breakthroughs in Parkinson’s disease (PD) research.
Honors & Awards
