With visionary support from the Pelican Fund, Zeitlin and his team are uncovering the secrets of Huntington’s disease (HD) and identifying new targets for combating this debilitating, fatal brain disorder. His experiments are illuminating (literally with fluorescent dye in some cases) how the body’s innate immune responses are implicated in HD and can be harnessed to delay and mitigate HD symptoms. Beyond giving new hope to families affected by HD, Zeitlin’s findings may open the floodgates for new treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and more.
