Neuropore Therapies Awarded $4.8M Grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to Support Development of Its TLR2 Program

“We are very pleased to receive such a significant funding award from The Michael J. Fox Foundation. TLR2 plays an important role in creating and maintaining a harmful neuro-inflammatory condition in Parkinson’s disease. Reducing this neuroinflammation, by blocking TLR2, has the potential to prevent neurodegeneration and slow the progression of the disease. This grant will help enable us to rapidly advance our lead TLR2 antagonist through preclinical and early clinical development,” stated Douglas Bonhaus, Chief Executive Officer of Neuropore.
