An excellent discussion in which Professor Roger Barker shares his expertise on whether it is possible to repair the brain in Parkinson's disease using cell-based therapies?

Questions include:-
What is Parkinson's disease?
What are we trying to repair in PD?
What is the target population for cellular therapy?
How close have we come with Dopamine cell transplants on patients so far?

Professor Roger Barker is a Professor of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and a Consultant Neurologist at the Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge.

He is a primary investigator in the Wellcome – MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and the Director of the MRC funded UKRMP Stem and Engineered cell hub.

His research seeks to better define the clinical heterogeneity of two common neurodegenerative disorders, namely Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, and their treatment, especially with experimental cell and gene-based approaches.
