You can help with research to understand Parkinsons

Researchers at University College London want to understand the proteins that build up in the brains of people with Parkinson’s. This knowledge could help develop more accurate and targeted treatments for people with Parkinson’s in the future. They are looking for both healthy volunteers and people with Parkinson's aged 50 - 80 to take part in their study.
