Understanding variability in Parkinson's

01/04/2021

250 people diagnosed with Parkinson’s within the last 2 years, who are aged between 45–75 years and can undergo MRI scanning.

The team are also looking for people without Parkinson’s within the same age bracket and people who have been diagnosed with Rapid Eye Movement behavioural disorder.

Central London

Dr Christian Lambert and the research team at University College London are collecting detailed clinical assessments, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and DNA samples to understand why Parkinson’s is so variable.

Predict PD

01/06/2021

10,000 people aged 60-80 years who DO NOT have Parkinson’s.

From home

The PREDICT PD team from Queen Mary University London, Wolfson Institute of Preventative Medicine and University College London Institute of Neurology are conducting a study to refine tests that might help to predict Parkinson's.

By 2040 the number of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s will have doubled.
