The winter 2011/12 issue of Progress, our Parkinson's research magazine, is now available to download or order.

This includes recently awarded grants and exciting results from our ongoing and completed projects.

All Parkinson's UK members will receive a copy of Progress this week with our membership magazine, The Parkinson.

Parkinson's and the genetic revolution

This issue's feature article is 'Parkinson's and the genetic revolution'.

We explore how the genetics boom has changed our understanding of Parkinson's, and hear from researchers who are pioneering this exciting research.

Over the last 10 years the field of genetics has exploded.

And now, advances in technology mean that scientists are learning more about our genes and what they do inside our bodies at record pace.

One of the central themes of our research strategy is to understand why nerve cells die in Parkinson's - as understanding this could hold the key to a cure.

Highlighting the role our supporters play in research

In this issue we also highlight the vital role that people affected by Parkinson's play in our research.

Without our dedicated research supporters raising much-needed funds, pledging their brains for research and taking part in studies, the research we do just wouldn't be possible.

If you feel inspired by the work our supporters, there are lots of ways that you can get involved in our research.
