Major Research Breakthrough: A New Biomarker for Parkinson's (Webinar Audio)

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Podcast

In April, The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) announced a major biomarker breakthrough, opening a new chapter for Parkinson’s research — with the promise of better drug development and care for all people and families living with the disease. With the new test, validated by MJFF’s Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), researchers can objectively define and monitor this pathology for the first time in the living body. Experts explain the promise this research holds for all people living with Parkinson’s.
PPMI is enrolling people with and without Parkinson's disease. Join the study that's changing everything. michaeljfox.org/podcast-ppmi
