If you would like to be a part of this exciting Western-McGill collaboration, our lab is accepting new graduate students. Email: penny.macdonald@gmail.com. @WesternU @Brains_CAN
Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay. #Parkinsons affects 100,000+ Canadians and a diagnosis for the disease can take years.
#WesternU researchers have teamed with researchers from @HBHLMcGill to identify biomarkers that will help diagnose Parkinson's earlier.

It's #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth. A research project with @CFREF_APOGEE partner, @HBHLMcGill, is identifying a faster, more efficient method to diagnose #Parkinsons.
This project is part of the newly developed Initiative for Translational Neuroscience.
