Rune Labs and Parkinson's Foundation Launch First Clinical Program to Correlate Genetic and Digital Biomarkers for Parkinson's Disease
Bringing together Rune Labs' StrivePD AI software and PD GENEration from Parkinson's Foundation, the Global Parkinson's Genetics Program (GP2) looks to accelerate therapeutic development and deployment SAN FRANCISCO, May 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rune Labs, the leader in precision medicine for Parkinson's disease (PD), today announced the launch of a clinical program with Parkinson's Foundation to accelerate the discovery of genetic and digital biomarkers for PD that can be used to provide breakthroughs in diagnostics, therapy development, and clinical trial design. By mapping gene variants to real-world symptom and medication data, the study will reveal wearable-based biomarker correlations in Parkinson's patients. The study, supported through the Global Parkinson's Genetics Program (GP2), will leverage Rune Labs' StrivePD AI-driven software and PD GENEration, the flagship genetic testing and counseling initiative from the Parkinson's Foundation. The GP2 program, one of three Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP) initiative-funded programs implemented by The Michael J. Fox Foundation, aims to improve understanding of the genetic architecture of PD by integrating ancestrally diverse populations to address a large gap in scientists' knowledge about the disease. Led by Dr. Andrew B. Singleton and Dr. Cornelis Blauwendraat, GP2's partnership with the Parkinson's Foundation will further increase the ancestral diversity of global PD genetic data. Despite a growing global patient population—expected to exceed 25 million by 2050—people with Parkinson's still need advances in diagnostics and treatments, despite progress over the past two decades. The study is intended to help address this by identifying biological and digital signatures of the disease that can support earlier diagnosis, more precise patient stratification for clinical trials, and the development of better-targeted treatment strategies. Leveraging StrivePD, participants will use an iPhone and Apple Watch to track motor symptoms passively, including tremor and dyskinesia, along with self-reported activities like mood and medications, while completing remote surveys and rating scales on their health and Parkinson's symptoms. Through PD GENEration, participants will undergo genetic testing and counseling by providing a blood sample that will be used to test for clinically validated PD-related genetic variants. The study may help participants determine eligibility for genetically based clinical studies. "We believe that there is significant potential to advance Parkinson's research by combining genetic insights with real-world data derived from AI-driven platforms like StrivePD to define disease subtypes. As trials become more precise, we can leverage data from this new study to reduce the noise, match patients to the right interventions, and generate stronger evidence to support the development of much-needed personalized treatments. If you carry a gene mutation, you shouldn't be treated like every other patient. This study could move us from 'average-patient' dosing to genome-matched therapy recommendations," said Brian Pepin, CEO of Rune Labs. StrivePD closes the gap in Parkinson's care caused by infrequent specialist visits and unpredictable symptoms. Through AI-driven monitoring, the software care ecosystem combines Apple Watch data with the StrivePD app to track FDA-cleared metrics like tremor and dyskinesia, plus self-reported daily routines, to deliver real-time insights and proactive treatment guidance. By providing insights into symptoms at all hours of the day, StrivePD helps patients manage symptoms between visits, improve medication adherence, and avoid unnecessary ER trips, allowing them to take control of their disease and ease the pressure on the healthcare system. Using AI and extensive real-world patient data, StrivePD is also changing how neurological clinical trials are designed, helping improve predictive accuracy and reducing trial failures. PD GENEration from the Parkinson's Foundation is an international research initiative offering genetic testing and counseling at no cost to individuals diagnosed with PD. Since its inception in 2019, PD GENEration has enrolled over 24,000 people living with PD (PwP) across North, Central, and South America, the Caribbean, and Israel. PD GENEration's mission is to help PwP better understand their genetic link to PD and manage their PD treatment and care, contribute to the scientific understanding of PD now and into the future, and accelerate enrollment into clinical trials by empowering PwP and clinicians around the importance of genetics. "We created PD GENEration to empower those with Parkinson's and their families to know more about their disease, accelerate clinical trials [that may one day halt Parkinson's], and drive forward research into the complex genetic factors that contribute to Parkinson's severity, progression, and treatment response," said James Beck, PhD and Chief Scientific Officer of the Parkinson's Foundation. "This new study with Rune Labs brings in powerful digital insights that can help us decode Parkinson's even further and speed up the path toward more effective treatments, and one day, a cure. Together, we can make better lives for those living with PD." Initial genotype-response findings are expected in 2026, with anonymized results made available to researchers through the GP2 data repository to accelerate future studies.

Gary Payton admits he made mistakes when teaching his son how to play basketball: "I was thinking about myself, how I played, and I wanted him to play that way"
Like most fathers, Gary Payton wanted his son to be like him. But not only did he just want his namesake son to follow in his footsteps and become a professional basketball player, he wanted him to be the same player he was in the NBA. But living up to his father's name was like mission impossible for Gary II. His father was a nine-time NBA All-Star, nine-time All-NBA team selection, nine-time All-Defensive first team member, the 1996 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and a member of the NBA's 75th Anniversary team. Advertisement Trying to dictate GP2's early basketball career caused a rift between father and son that almost derailed the younger Payton's basketball career. Ultimately, Gary Sr. realized that for his son to realize his full potential, he had to let him be himself. "At the first time that I was thinking of myself, how I played, and I wanted him to play that way. Y'all gotta understand man, there is only one Gary Payton, and that's me. I just named my son after me, that's it," he said. "So I told my son 'Look here man, I know you mad at me.' We got into a situation where our relationship wasn't really cool because of that." Gary didn't think GP2 would go to Oregon State According to the elder Payton, he tried to discourage GP2 the way his father did him. Early on, it looked like the pressure of living up to his name caught up with Gary II. However, by his junior year in HS, "The Young Glove" decided that he wasn't going to listen to the noise and was going to play his own game. Advertisement After high school, GP2 wanted to enroll at St. Mary's College in Moraga, California. However, his dad took him to Oregon State, where he once starred. At first, Gary thought his son would not take the challenge. But he did, and that was when the old man realized that his kid was no longer intimidated by his reputation. "When he made that decision to go to Oregon State behind me, that was a big deal for me because I really didn't think that he was going to do that. So I tell him all the time, I said 'Look here, Don't never think that you gotta be like me. It ain't going to work that way.' I said 'If you want to be like, be anything with me, just get your picture up a side of me. And let us be two legends together." The best thing about GP2 isn't even related to basketball GP2's number isn't retired by OSU like his dad's is. Unlike his father, who was the No.2 pick in the 1990 NBA Draft, his son took a longer route to the NBA after being undrafted in 2016. But while he hasn't been as good as his dad in the NBA, he's played nine seasons in the association and is coming off the second-best scoring year of his career in Golden State. That's impressive but it's not what makes Gary Sr. the proudest. Advertisement "The best thing I like about my kid is that when people come up to me, they don't talk about basketball. They talk about how good of a person he is, and how sweet he is. That makes a dad feel better because I know I did what I had to do as a parent," he added. Like all NBA dads, Gary was away most of the time because of his basketball career. But hearing people say nice things about GP2 as a person—"The Glove" says that's the best feeling for any father—and it's not even basketball-related.

Dad of rider killed in Oulton Park tragedy posts heartbreaking social media message
Owen Jenner, a 21-year-old rider from East Sussex, tragically lost his life in a serious crash involving 10 others in a British Supersport Championship race at Oulton Park on Monday The father of Owen Jenner has shared a heartbreaking photo of his son with his favourite pet after he died in a horrifying crash on Monday. Jenner, 21, and Shane Richardson, 29, both passed away after sustaining catastrophic injuries in the 11-bike incident at Oulton Park. Jenner was riding for Rapid Honda at the British Supersport Championship race when the crash happened on the exit from turn one, Old Hall corner, on the first lap. The young British rider died of a catastrophic head injury at the circuit's medical centre. Richardson died on the way to Royal Stoke University Hospital of severe chest injuries, while Tom Tunstall, a 47-year-old rider, sustained significant back and abdominal injuries and remains in hospital. The race was stopped immediately and the rest of the event was cancelled. Motorsport Vision Racing (MSVR), who are responsible for circuit operations at the Cheshire track, and the Motorcycle Racing Control Board are "investigating the full circumstances of the incident in conjunction with the Coroner and Cheshire Constabulary". Tragically, Jenner's final post on his public Facebook page was a tribute to his father Michael. The picture shows the two of them beaming while celebrating a race victory on the podium with the caption: "Happy birthday to the old boy. Wouldn't be where I am without him and I know he wouldn't wanna be anywhere else on his special day!" Posting after his son's death, Michael shared a photo of a young Owen smiling while holding a cat. "The love of his life," the caption reads. A reply from a friend read: "I'm completely lost for words Numb to the core and can't imagine what you guys are going through right now.. I only have good memories of all the times we rode on track or got to watch Owen take his championships… "There's nothing that can be done to bring him back but just know he brought so much happiness to so many others… God speed Owen." A reply under Owen's own post added: "One of the most genuine lads I've had the pleasure of knowing, no words will bring you back, you've left your mark on so many people. You'll live on in people's memories pal." Jenner, from Crowborough in East Sussex, was in his second year racing in The Supersport Championship. He was signed up to Rapid Honda after becoming a superstock champion in 2020 and 2023, and winning last year's GP2 title with 18 wins out of 20 race finishes. Tributes poured in from the world of motorsport on Tuesday, with a succession of riders posting emotional messages on social media. Rory Skinner posted: "Progressed today but don't have a lot to say… Gutted is an understatement. The sport can be too cruel at times. Thoughts and condolences to everyone and their families involved in today's incident." Jamie Davis wrote: "What a horrible day for racing. My thoughts are with every family and or friends." Blaze Baker added: "Absolutely devastated, very sad day today. My thoughts are with both families in this very tough time." "Is a black day for motorsport with terrible losses. Ride in peace my friend," Jaimie van Sikkelerus wrote. Storm Stacey posted: "I have nothing to say this evening, forget the results. Thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of the 2 riders that passed today."
