The Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair is part of the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge. The ultimate aim of work in the Centre is to understand, and eventually to alleviate and repair damage to the brain and spinal cord which results from injury or neurodegenerative disease. At the centre, an examination of Parkinson’s disease patients occurs in a number of ways. The clinic uses various tools in order to fully assess the nature of the disease such as computer tests for memory, eye movement recordings, drug trials as well as collaborating on brain imaging studies.

The group investigates the mechanisms of functional and behavioural restoration in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's (PD) or Huntington's diseases (HD). Currently, they are working on stem cell- or progenitor cell-based therapies both in the animal model and in human trials.

The Brain Repair Group is working to understand and develop new cell based treatments for major neurodegenerative diseases of the brain, in particular Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. They are seeking to develop new strategies for therapy based on a multidisciplinary approach in several converging problems.

Research or the group aims at developing new restorative and neuroprotective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases using cell transplantation and direct in vivo gene delivery. Additionally, we explore rodent models of Parkinson´s disease to study the mechanisms underlying development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias, and use recombinant viral vectors as tools to model Parkinson-like neurodegeneration in rodents, and for delivery of putative therapeutic factors, GDNF and Nurr 1 in particular, to the brain.

The group’s mission is to understand neurodegenerative diseases and develop new therapies that are of benefit to patients and their caregivers. Their research is focused on pathogenetic mechanisms and pharmacological treatment in cell and animal models of Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. Cell replacement therapy with stem cells in attempts to repair brains in animal models of Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseasesm is also being examined.

The group is developing novel strategies for the treatment of neurological disorders (e.g. Parkinson’s Disease) based on cell transplantation and gene therapy with the general aim to repair and protect the brain. First clinical trials aiming to protect against the degeneration of dopamineneurons in Parkinson’s patients are also planed.

Use of functional imaging, principally positron emission tomography (PET), to identify the functional anatomy underlying control of different aspects of limb movement in normal subjects is the main research focus of the group. With this approach they are studying dopaminergic function in Parkinson’s disease (PD) kindreds with a genetic mutation and to measure the effects of neuroprotective and restorative therapies on rates of disease progression in PD and Huntington’s disease.

The group is examining the use of the Deep Brain Stimulation technique to help understand differences in treatment response in Parkinson’s disease suffering patients. By studying the genetic variations that influence the sufferer’s response, they hope to develop treatments that will work for all individuals with Parkinson’s.

Prof. Widner and his group has since 15 years pioneered the field of cell transplantation in Parkinson's disease, and has been involved in clinical assessment of patients with this disease and other movement disorders. He has also worked for many years with animal models of movement disorders and the development of new restorative and neuroprotective strategies.
