Program Description

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.
