The quest to cure Parkinson’s

Around 1 in every 375 adults live with Parkinson’s disease in Scotland with about 30 people diagnosed each week. The current treatments have not changed in over 60 years and only treat the symptoms, not the disease. Scientists and clinicians at the University of Dundee are aiming to change that and are making significant advances in understanding this disease with the assistance of those living with Parkinson’s.

In this panel discussion, we will discuss the latest research taking place in Dundee and the real-world impacts it will have.
