🔎What types of Parkinson’s disease research are your donations currently helping APDA fund? Great question! Here are a few highlights:

🎯Krithi Irmady, MD, PhD, aims to uncover potential targets for treating both PD and levodopa-induced dyskinesia.

♀️Michelle Fullar, MD, is studying how a new decision support tool may help women become more informed and supported when deciding whether deep brain stimulation surgery is right for them.

🔬Gaurav Chattree, MD’s goal is to pinpoint the specific types of brain cells that malfunction in Parkinson’s disease in order to guide new treatments.

💰APDA has awarded $4.04 million in new PD research funding for the year ahead. Your support as APDA donors helps support this critical research. Thank you! 💙💚
