PD ExpertBriefing: What's in the Parkinson's Pipeline?

Registration is open for PDF’s next PD ExpertBriefing, "What’s in the Parkinson’s Pipeline?" which will take place on Tuesday, April 20 at 1 PM ET.  David Standaert, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, will lead this one-hour webinar/teleconference. See this page to register and learn more: www.pdf.org/en/parkinson_briefing_pipeline

Participants can by phone or computer (a unique toll-free number will be provided to phone participants at the time of registration). During the last 20 minutes of the event, online participants will have the opportunity to ask Dr. Standaert their own questions on the topic.

Goals of this PD Expert Briefing:

• Provide an understanding of the "pipeline," e.g., introduce the concepts of target identification and validation, drug development  and clinical trials
• Review recently approved medications for Parkinson’s
• Assess short-term expectations for the pipeline – potential new drugs for Parkinson’s that are already under investigation in clinical trials
• Discuss long-term plans for the pipeline – potential drugs and approaches for treatment not yet in clinical trials

We hope these PD ExpertBriefings are useful for you and your constituents!
