Parkinson's Foundation certifies Stanford Movement Disorders Center as a Center of Excellence, joining a network that is setting the highest standard of care for people with Parkinson’s in the U.S. and internationally. #Parkinsons https://t.co/PhNvyrkr6v
A lab test that can tell doctors if someone has Parkinson's disease is a long-sought goal of researchers.
There are new tests that are able to detect traces of a key protein that misfolds and gums up specific areas of the brain. https://t.co/pp93V7Hnj5
NEW—Identifying ‘hallmark’ Parkinson’s disease protein build-up could aid early detection and pave way for improved diagnosis and treatment , a new study published in @TheLancetNeuro suggests

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures use leading-edge techniques, increasing your comfort during surgery.
Our team has performed nearly 1500 DBS procedures since 1999. They are researching new or improved treatments for Parkinson's disease. #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth
“This opens a new chapter in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, where we can accurately determine alpha-synuclein pathology in living people, and this catalyzes the field forward toward disease-targeted therapeutic development.” - Kathleen L. Poston, MD, MS @pddoc
What lies ahead for the future of Neuroscience and why is Stanford Medicine built to lead transformation in relevant fields of study? Hear from Frank Longo, MD, PhD, Chair of Neurology and Michael Lim, MD, Chair of Neurosurgery at Stanford Medicine. https://t.co/IdtcpUttzd
Wonderful to be included in this @NeurologyToday piece reflecting on the Progress in Early Detection and Treatment of #Alzheimer’s Disease

1/ I'm fortunate to mentor two awesome PhD students who received @NIH F31 awards. These pay about 26K in salary. In NYC, PhD students earn around 46K, leaving a 20K gap. It turns out that I cannot use R01/R21 funding to pay for this gap and have to rely on discretionary funds.
congratulations to @JarodRutledge1 and @blehall for describing new fluid biomarker AADC for Parkinson's disease in great collaboration with Kathleen Poston @pddoc. https://t.co/Ks9OLjWk4I
Pre-print alert! Exciting study from @JarodRutledge1
