Join us in celebrating #WomensEqualityDay! Today, we honor the 19th Amendment, passed in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. 💪 While we've made significant strides toward gender equality, there's still important work to be done, particularly in research and healthcare. Despite progress in education, women still represent fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide, highlighting a major disparity in science. In honor of Women’s Equality Day, we’re shining a spotlight on an editorial in Frontiers in Neuroscience that showcases the groundbreaking contributions of women in neurodegenerative research. Their work is transforming our understanding of sex-specific effects in neurodegeneration, developing innovative cognitive assessment tools, and revealing the critical roles of glial cells in disease pathology. As we continue to advocate for gender equality in healthcare research, let's ensure that every voice is heard and valued. Together, we can drive innovation and improve outcomes for all.

About us
At Prevail Therapeutics, we are developing novel gene therapies that target the root genetic causes of Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our mission is to translate recent advances in human genetics and gene therapy technology into medicines that slow or stop the neurodegenerative process. Our programs utilize a precision medicine approach targeting patient populations with urgent unmet needs, where there are currently no available therapies that modify the progressive course of their disorders. Prevail was formed in 2017 and we are building a team of dedicated, creative and talented individuals who share our passion for serving patients with neurodegenerative diseases. We pride ourselves on following great science, and we value collaboration, integrity and agility. We are based in the Alexandria Center for Life Science in New York City. Prevail Therapeutics was acquired by Eli Lilly and Company in January of 2021, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly. For information please visit the www.lilly.com website.

At Prevail Therapeutics we're looking forward to the 14th International Conference on Frontotemporal Dementias taking place from September 19-22 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This biennial congress of the International Society of Frontotemporal Dementia (ISFTD) is a vital gathering for neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, neuropsychologists, and basic scientists in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and related neurodegenerative conditions. FTD caregivers are also encouraged to attend the caregiver’s program. FTD is the second most common cause of early-onset dementia, characterized by behavioral changes, language and motor disorders, and memory disorders. This conference will highlight the latest advancements in understanding the molecular basis of FTD and developing therapeutic approaches. Join us for a diverse program featuring keynote speeches, panel discussions, poster presentations, and networking opportunities. The conference also includes a caregiver's program and exhibits by industry and non-profit partners. Register today to be part of this enriching event.

Prevail Therapeutics is excited to spotlight the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) and their invaluable contributions to the genetic counseling profession. Since its inception in 1979, the NSGC has advanced the roles of genetic counselors in healthcare by providing a robust network for professional communication, continuing education opportunities, and public policy advocacy. Genetic testing analyzes a person's DNA to identify changes or mutations in their genes or chromosomes. It can confirm or rule out a diagnosis, predict the risk of developing certain genetic conditions, and inform treatment decisions. Genetic counselors, who receive specialized training in medical genetics and counseling, play a crucial role in evaluating genetic risks and supporting patients in understanding their genetic test results and hereditary conditions. Genetic counselors are vital members of healthcare teams, offering expertise in various specialties such as prenatal, pediatric, oncology, neurology, and more. They also work in diverse roles beyond patient care, including research, education, and industry, contributing significantly to advancements in genetic science. Join us in recognizing the incredible work of the NSGC and the genetic counselors who empower patients with knowledge and support for their healthcare decisions.

Prevail Therapeutics is dedicated to pioneering innovative treatments that provide hope for individuals living with #FrontotemporalDementia with GRN mutations (FTD-GRN). Our PROCLAIM trial is a Phase 1/2 clinical trial investigating a potentially disease-modifying, single-dose gene therapy designed to elevate progranulin levels for individuals living with FTD-GRN. FTD-GRN is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease caused by a lack of progranulin, a protein that is found both outside of brain cells and inside the cells, in the lysosomes. Healthy levels of progranulin are necessary for fundamental cellular processes, including lysosomal function and neuronal survival. In patients with FTD-GRN, mutations in the gene GRN cause the body to produce insufficient progranulin. Without enough of the enzyme, the lysosomes cannot effectively degrade or recycle proteins, leading to inflammation and neurodegeneration. The PROCLAIM trial is actively recruiting patients with FTD-GRN , aged 30–85 years.
