Why do two people with Parkinson's experience the disease so differently?
In this episode, we sit down with researchers Patrik Verstreken and Natalie Kaempf to explore groundbreaking work that may help answer that question. Using advanced biology, biomarkers, and artificial intelligence, their team has identified what could be five distinct biological subtypes of Parkinson's disease.
We discuss what these findings mean for people living with Parkinson's today, how genetics and environmental factors may influence disease progression, and why understanding the biology behind Parkinson's could lead to more personalized treatments, better clinical trials, and earlier diagnosis in the future.
