Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series

Parkinson’s research is moving quickly, offering new insights for people living with the disease. This Expert Briefing will highlight how our understanding of Parkinson’s has evolved and why researchers are optimistic about future breakthroughs. We’ll focus on three key research areas shaping today’s momentum: alpha-synuclein, mitochondrial function, and inflammation. Participants will gain a clear snapshot of the latest discoveries, where science is headed, and how these advances may guide new and more effective treatments.
