Clinical and Translational Parkinson’s Disease Research at RUSH with Deborah Hall, MD
The RUSH Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders program treats over 7,000 patients with movement disorders, the majority of whom have Parkinson's disease (PD). RUSH is currently conducting about 150 research projects related to movement disorders; half of those focus on PD. Research on PD at RUSH encompasses a wide breadth of inquiry, from clinical phenotypes to pharmacologic interventions and much more.
Deborah Hall, MD, is a neurologist and movement disorder specialist and the Division Chief of the Section of Movement Disorders at RUSH University Medical Center. She also co-leads the novel RUSH PD GI Clinic, a novel multidisciplinary clinic focused on the gastrointestinal health of patients with PD and other movement disorders.
“Gene-based therapies are a particularly exciting area of research. Over the last five years, RUSH’s goal has been to personalize treatment for PD patients. This particular strategy coincides very nicely with the worldwide gene discovery effort to look at the genetic causes of Parkinson's disease.”
