Grant Activity:
Calpeptin, and related candidates, for the treatment of Machado Joseph disease
Purpose:
Machado Joseph Disease (MJD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes impaired movement and progressive paralysis, leading to patient death. MJD is inherited within families, including a high number of Indigenous families of northeast Arnhem Land. We have identified a possible treatment for MJD that has positive effects on a small animal model of the disease (zebrafish carrying the human MJD gene). We plan to test this treatment further with the aim of developing a treatment for MJD patients.
