Patrick A. Lewis is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom and has focused their research on areas within biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their work intersects multiple subfields including neurology, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, and cellular and molecular neuroscience.

The scientist's research contributions cover several main topics such as Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, cellular transport and secretion, neurological diseases and metabolism, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, lysosomal storage disorders research, nuclear receptors and signaling, and genetic neurodegenerative diseases.

Key recent publications by Patrick A. Lewis include:

  • Finding genetically-supported drug targets for Parkinson's disease using Mendelian randomization of the druggable genome, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Identification of Candidate Parkinson Disease Genes by Integrating Genome-Wide Association Study, Expression, and Epigenetic Data Sets, 2021, JAMA Neurology
  • Identification of sixteen novel candidate genes for late onset Parkinson's disease, 2021, Molecular Neurodegeneration
  • Dystonia genes functionally converge in specific neurons and share neurobiology with psychiatric disorders, 2020, Brain
  • Regulation of mitophagy by the NSL complex underlies genetic risk for Parkinson's disease at 16q11.2 and MAPT H1 loci, 2022, Brain

Their frequent collaborators have included John Hardy, Claudia Manzoni, Henry Houlden, Hélène Plun-Favreau, and Mark Cookson, with multiple joint publications over the years.

Patrick A. Lewis has published extensively in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), arXiv (Cornell University), Molecular Neurodegeneration, Nature Communications, and Movement Disorders.

Additionally, their work extends into book publications, including a contribution to the book Prions, published by the American Chemical Society in 2021.
