Building on the Biomarker Breakthrough: What We’re Working on Now

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Podcast

Just over a year ago, there was a major breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease (PD) research – a tool that could detect abnormal alpha-synuclein protein in the spinal fluid of people living with PD even before onset of symptoms. This discovery is already impacting the ways scientists conduct and think about Parkinson’s research. Tune into this episode of our award-winning “Parkinson’s Science POV” series to learn how researchers are using the test to better understand disease biology and what the future holds.
