Expert Briefing: The Environment & Parkinson’s: Unraveling Risk and Resilience
Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series
From pesticides to air quality, growing evidence points to environmental factors as significant contributors to Parkinson’s disease risk and progression. In this session, we will examine what is known—and what remains uncertain—about environmental exposures, genetic vulnerability, and protective factors. The discussion will highlight ongoing research efforts and opportunities for prevention and advocacy for cleaner, safer communities.
The Foundation's Expert Briefing series is intended to offer firsthand access to the latest research and updates from experts in the field. Expert Briefing webinars will include more scientific terms and concepts.
