Prior to joining the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) in 2009, she did research using PET imaging to study Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease and was involved in the development and translation of gene therapy approaches for Parkinson’s disease using AADC PET imaging as a readout for therapeutic response to AAV-AADC gene therapy. She also worked on the preclinical development of AAV-GDNF gene therapy for Parkinson’s disease. At the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), Dr. Eberling has been involved in a number of different programs over the years. Most notably, Dr. Eberling has overseen the PET imaging program since 2009 and launched the Foundation’s dedicated effort to develop a selective alpha-synuclein PET tracer in 2010.
