Big questions in neuroscience and current limits of knowledge
Disease-modifying therapies for neurodegenerative diseases – where are we going and do we ever reach the finish line?
Professor Timo Myöhänen, University of Helsinki
Host: Professor Iiris Hovatta
Timo Myöhänen is professor of Pharmacology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki. His research group is focused on finding novel therapeutic targets and developing experimental compounds for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Myöhänen’s lab has worked for several years with prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) and shown that modulation of PREP with small-molecular compounds leads to disease-modifying effects in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease mouse models. Their publication in Science Translational Medicine last year, describing disease-modifying effect of PREP ligands on different Tauopathy models, was awarded by the most outstanding article award of 2023 by Finnish Pharmaceutical Society. Recently, Myöhänen’s lab findings on PREP ligands led to the founding of Polku Therapeutics, a startup company aiming to take PREP ligands further in the drug development.
