Alastair Noyce is a Professor in Neurology and Neuroepidemiology at the Centre for Preventive Neurology (CPN). With our support, the team was established in 2017 and works on revolutionary research into Parkinson's disease, dementia and MS. Alastair's focus is on preventions, treatments, and early detection of Parkinson’s disease. He has also led pioneering work into the connection between laughing gas abuse and spinal cord damage.

Did you know that over 13,000 people in London are currently living with Parkinson's? And because symptoms are often hard to spot at first, lots of people go years without getting a diagnosis. With our support, Professors at @Preventiveneur1 are working tirelessly to improve preventions, treatments and early detection of Parkinson’s disease. Their studies will help people from all backgrounds in East London to get the support they need, when they need it. @predictPD Read more about the team's incredible work: bit.ly/44exItg (Figures cited by @ParkinsonsUK) #Parkinsons #PD #WorldParkinsonsDay #research

Some key insights from the Q&A session with Professor Paul Matthews- More participants are needed in longitudinal studies such as the @uk_biobank in order for us to get better, reproducible and insightful data #CPNSymposium24 @predictPD

In this study, long-term regular physical activity levels and exercise habits were strongly associated with a better clinical course of #Parkinson disease, with each type of physical activity having different effects. Learn more: bit.ly/3pazoi5 #NeuroTwitter

Until recently, our understanding of Parkinson’s biology has been limited to mainly volunteers of European descent. In a groundbreaking research discovery, today new findings published in @TheLancetNeuro reveal a novel genetic variant that increases the risk of Parkinson's among people of African descent. This finding — enabled by support from the @ASAP_Research initiative and The Michael J. Fox Foundation — importantly provides a step toward therapeutic development and research that is reflective of the diverse biology and experiences of all individuals living with Parkinson's.
