Program Description

This workshop will be focused on the extremely current topic of diagnostic and progression biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism. Given very recent developments in the use of seed amplification assays (SAA), neuroimaging and the development of novel biological therapies the topic is extremely important and will enable strong interactions between basic and clinical scientists, enabling ample opportunities for junior scientists to understand the challenges and implications of the use of biomarkers in the field.

Course Purpose

The primary purpose of the course is to address current developments in the field of biomarkers for diagnosing and following disease progression, highlighting the potential impact for defining PD and for monitoring the impact of therapeutic interventions. It will also highlight how biomarkers could be introduced to better characterize patients undergoing invasive treatments and neuromodulation.
