Join us for a webinar on A New Biological Definition of Parkinson’s Disease, Friday, February 23, 2:30pm

February 16, 2024 By Parkinson's Community Help

Dr. Kathleen Poston

A this special meeting of the Palo Alto PD support group on Friday, February 23, 2:30-3:30pm, we welcome Stanford movement disorder specialist Dr. Kathleen Poston. Dr. Poston will be speaking about a new biological definition of Parkinson’s Disease that she and others are proposing. (The effort was organized by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Dr. Poston is one of the co-authors.)

Join us to learn what this proposed definition means for those in the PD community, physicians, clinicians, and clinical trials. Attendees may ask Dr. Poston questions during the webinar via the chat and Q&A box.

Email Robin Riddle to register and obtain the link for the webinar.

For some background on this proposal, check out this MJFF webpage.

And, for the armchair scientists out there, check out this Alzforum post about this proposed definition and a competing one (very challenging reading).
