Professor Roger Barker, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience, University of Cambridge
Professor Barker explains where we are with research in 2019 and how our understanding of the disease has progressed, before exploring emerging trends and therapies.
Emerging trends discussed include the role of alpha-synuclein, drug repurposing, providing ‘fertilizer’ to dopamine cells such as in GDNF trials, stem cell-derived dopamine replacement, and gene therapy.

Cerebrovasular pathology in Parkinson's disease
Learn how cerebrovascular lesions may contribute to changing connectivity within the brain and result in more severe PD from Professor Angelo Antonini, Professor of Neurology at the Department of Neurosciences, University of Padova.
Here Prof. Antonini explains how people with vascular lesions in the brain differ in clinical manifestations and response to traditional PD medications from those without lesions. He also talks us through imaging tracers available for studying cerebrovascular pathology.
