Understanding Parkinson’s Early Detection
Earlier Treatment
Better Protection

Our research is designed to explore the biology behind Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia.
Why? Because new therapies and early-stage intervention are our greatest chance to preserve function and quality of life—before extensive nerve-cell loss occurs.

"After more than four decades in Parkinson’s research and patient care, I know where I want to devote my experience and energy. I have a single goal that drives me above all others: to turn the extraordinary progress of recent years into a therapy that can stop Parkinson’s before irreversible damage is done. And I am convinced we will be successful."
