Our therapy is designed to address a deficiency that is inherited in a subset of the Parkinson's population, and to actually modify the course of the disease. " - David J. Lockhart, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Amicus Therapeutics "I am pleased to continue working with Amicus on their exciting pharmacological chaperone approach to modify the progression of Parkinson's Disease. Amicus' earlier compound partially reversed the motor deficits in our alpha-synuclein overexpression mouse model, and we are eager to test the improved compounds." - Marie-Francoise Chesselet, M.D., Ph.D., Charles H. Markham Professor of Neurology and Chair, Department of Neurobiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
