Our lab's main focus is targeted delivery to the brain which can be used to treat a lot of neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically for Parkinson's, we infuse an AADC vector into the putamen to break down L-DOPA into Dopamine. Further down the road, we are looking at using GDNF to save dying neurons that convert L-DOPA into Dopamine. The specifics are here: http://neurosurgery.ucsf.edu/bankiewicz/parkinsons.html
Regarding massive information, I analyze a lot of the data we generate in order to optimize our delivery platform. Since there are few labs that do this kind of work, all the data I work with comes from us.
