Making Research Personal: How You Can Advance Parkinson's Research

Parkinson's research depends on people living with the disease and their care partners. But what does research participation actually look like, and how do you find opportunities that are right for you?

Join us for a practical conversation about the many ways people can contribute to Parkinson's research, from observational studies and genetic research to clinical trials. Learn how researchers use information such as genetics, biomarkers, and lived experiences to drive discoveries and advance precision medicine. We'll also discuss what participation involves, how eligibility works, and how to find research opportunities that match your interests, goals, and circumstances.

Whether you're simply curious about research or ready to get involved, this webinar will help demystify the process and empower you to take the next step.
