Discover Parkinson's research

We’re getting closer to a cure: being able to stop, slow, reverse or prevent Parkinson’s. But we’re also delivering treatments that improve life with Parkinson’s right now.

As the leading European funder of Parkinson’s research, we have a multi-million pound funding programme, decades of experience, strong international networks, and a fantastic community of people with Parkinson's powering our research.

When will there be a cure for Parkinson's?

There’s currently no cure for Parkinson’s. But we’re determined to change that by funding the right research into the most promising treatments.
