A world without Parkinson’s will only be made possible through the work and energy of the Parkinson’s community — people living with the disease and their loved ones, researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, lawmakers and others. Catalyzing that community toward productive action is one of The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s (MJFF) four main areas of research focus in its Strategic Research Agenda, along with more clearly defining Parkinson’s disease, building better treatment pipelines and speeding clinical trial decision-making.
In this episode of The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson’s Podcast, part of its award-winning Parkinson’s Science POV series, Maggie Kuhl, vice president of patient engagement at MJFF, leads a conversation about these efforts with two veteran scientists:
Brian Fiske, PhD, chief scientist, MJFF
Mark Frasier, PhD, chief scientist, MJFF
