In a year of remarkable progress for the Parkinson’s field, we’re entering a new era for better understanding the biology of the disease, with the identification of a breakthrough biomarker accelerating new therapeutics through the clinical pipeline and legislators on Capitol Hill moving toward legislation that unites the federal government on a mission to treat, prevent and cure Parkinson’s disease.

Tune in as scientists and staff from The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) answer these questions and share insights in our latest Third Thursdays Webinar.
