Course: Controversies in Parkinson’s Disease Research

April 19th to 21st, 2023

Venue: Centre Broca Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Program Description

The primary purpose of this course is to provide clinicians and basic scientists an interactive examination of controversies in Parkinson’s disease research topics.

The MDS-ES Controversies in Parkinson’s Disease Research course will adopt a “controversies” format where each selected “hot” scientific question will give rise to opposed views, each being defended by a renowned faculty. The program will allow ample time for interactive discussion between the opposing faculties and the course participants.  The course will also feature a hands-on component with laboratory experimental content for clinicians and clinic-oriented content for basic scientists.
