Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I met with Jennifer, a Clinical Research Coordinator from the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, who is working on an MJFF-sponsored research project called PPMI - Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative. It's a landmark study collaborating with partners around the world to create a robust open-access data set and biosample library to speed scientific breakthroughs and new treatments. Jennifer explains how critical the PPMI study is to hopefully one day find what causes someone to have Parkinson's as well as other learnings they have found thus far.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-secret-life-of-parkinsons/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
