A special patient-focused event is scheduled for Thursday 15 May 2025, offering a unique opportunity for participants to engage with researchers in this field.
Cure Parkinson’s is supporting the next G-Force PD meeting, an international consortium dedicated to advancing cell replacement therapies for Parkinson’s. This global initiative brings together leading stem cell scientists to accelerate treatments that replace dopamine-producing nerve cells lost in Parkinson’s. Alongside this, Cure Parkinson’s is hosting a free hybrid event to give participants the opportunity to hear directly from and ask questions to leading researchers in this field, including Professor Roger Barker from Cambridge University and Dr Agnete Kirkeby from Lund University.
This meeting will take place on Thursday15 May 2025 at the Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole St, London W1G 0AE. Anyone interested in this topic is encouraged to register their attendance, whether this be virtually or in-person.
