有見於現時醫學界對柏金遜綜合症的了解和預防方法都十分有限,香港中文大學醫學院以捐款人張金菱女士之名,成立張金菱治療柏金遜綜合症研究中心,旨在與不同學科聯手研究,發掘可減慢柏金遜綜合症退化的治療及預防方法。

In view of the lacking understanding of and preventive treatments for parkinsonism, the Margaret K.L. Cheung Research Centre for Management of Parkinsonism was established by the Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong after the name of the donor, Ms. Margaret Kam Ling Cheung. The Centre is set up with an aim to conduct transdisciplinary research that will enable the discovery of therapeutics that can prevent or slow the progression of common diseases causing parkinsonism.

項目重點

Areas of Focus

分別成立華人早期柏金遜病和腦小血管病登記冊,以了解基因和其他假設的疾病相關因子,從而發展準確的生物標記和診斷方法,並用於預測柏金遜病及腦小血管病的早期病程發展。

Establish two registries for early PD and SVD in Chinese subjects respectively to develop precise biomarkers and diagnostics in understanding genetic and other putative causative factors, as well as to predict and monitor disease progression at the early stage of PD and SVD.

建立特製的活體多光子顯微鏡,結合單細胞基因學技術並用於動物模型,以研究腦小血管病的發病機制。

Build a custom-made in vivo multiphoton microscope combining single-cell genomic techniques for the study of pathogenesis underlying SVD in animal models.

採用嶄新計算方法,結合已知的全基因組關聯分析大數據庫與細胞基因表達模式,將現有的藥物進行虛擬篩選,以找出可用於柏金遜病的藥物。

Employ a novel methodology combining known large databases of genome-wide association study and cellular gene expression patterns to perform virtual screening among large numbers of existing drugs that may help PD.

研究亞洲人獨有的LRRK2 基因變異 (已知最普遍可引致柏金遜病的基因變異) 引致腦神經細胞退化,從而演變成柏金遜綜合症的機制。

Examine the mechanisms of how Asian-specific LRRK2 mutations (the most common genetic mutation known to cause PD) lead to degeneration of nerve cells, resulting in parkinsonism.

研究誘導性多功能幹細胞 (iPSC) 技術於治療柏金遜病的可能性。

Investigate the potential therapeutic properties of iPSC technologies in PD.

發掘可能有效的非藥物治療,例如不同的運動在早期改善柏金遜病的運動和非運動症狀。

Explore potentially effective non-pharmacological treatments, e.g. various exercise training, in improving motor and non-motor symptoms of parkinsonism at an early stage of parkinsonism.

推動與其他研究團隊的協同合作,共同對抗這個挑戰。

Encourage synergistic partnership with other research institutions in tackling the global challenge together.
