The primary purpose of this course is to introduce basic scientists to clinical aspects of movement disorders and to define major unmet needs in diagnostics or therapeutics from the perspective of clinicians.

The faculty consists of clinician-scientists who care for patients with movement disorders in the clinic and pursue lab-based research using molecular biology methods and experimental models to advance our understanding of these diseases.
