🎬 Exciting News from our team!

We are thrilled to announce that our team has been featured in a report on RTL Lëtzebuerg — “Lëtzebuerg ass ‘déi bescht Plaz, fir mat Parkinson ze liewen”

The feature provides a clear picture of how far Parkinson’s care and research have advanced in Luxembourg.

You can watch it here: https://today.rtl.lu/news/luxembourg/a/2354198.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawOHv51leHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyCGNhbGxzaXRlATIAAR63_bUPQA17q3zwWwQcDMlTXxj7z-XUBcXUjdf4K7TUQdk6P3Q1scahGCfZSg_aem_o6-xJvDsY5tQj0boMsk9yA

It gives voice to the stories of people living with Parkinson’s — their daily realities, their resilience, and the trust they place in us. These personal stories remind us why this work matters, and why strong collaboration between science, medicine, and society is essential.

🎉 Scientific conference for 10 years of research in NCER-PD

Today marks the start of a two-day international conference celebrating 10 years of research within the National Centre of Excellence in Research on Parkinson’s Disease (NCER-PD).

🧠 Over 200 attendees, including world-leading scientists from the USA, Japan, the UK, and beyond, have gathered to share the latest breakthroughs in Parkinson’s research. Their presence reflects the global recognition Luxembourg has earned in this field over the past decade.

🗣️ “With many partners and collaborators here today, we’re looking back at past successes, but also identifying new avenues for advances with the aim to progress from precision medicine to prevention of neurodegenerative diseases,” explains Prof. Rejko Krüger, coordinator of NCER-PD.

🔬 While this conference focuses on scientific progress, we’re also preparing a dedicated event for our research participants and the Parkinson’s community. Over 20,000 people in Luxembourg have contributed to NCER-PD’s research — their support has been essential in advancing early diagnosis and understanding the disease.
