SUMMARY:2026 Grand Challenges in Parkinson’s Disease
DESCRIPTION:In its 15th year\, Grand Challenges in Parkinson’s Disease continues to bring together scientists\, clinicians and people with Parkinson’s to explore the latest advances and most pressing questions in Parkinson’s research. \nThe 2026 theme\, From Brain Pathology to Biological Intervention\, combines emerging mechanistic insights with new opportunities for therapeutic intervention. The program will foster dialogue across disciplines\, including neuropathology\, structural biology\, systems neuroscience and translational pharmacology. \nOur outstanding roster of speakers will highlight: \n\nConvergent mechanisms driving synucleinopathy across model systems and human disease\nTechnological and conceptual breakthroughs that are redefining the early detection and staging of alpha-synuclein pathology\nTherapeutic opportunities informed by an improved understanding of alpha-synuclein structure\, cell vulnerability and disease mechanisms\n\nAlongside the symposium\, Van Andel Institute and Cure Parkinson’s are thrilled to once again host Rallying to the Challenge\, a meeting designed for and by people with Parkinson’s\, advocates and care partners that delves into how the Parkinson’s community can impact and accelerate research.
