Parkinson's UK

For more than 50 years, Parkinson’s UK has been at the cutting edge of Parkinson’s research. They have funded over £120m of life-changing research in the UK and abroad, all in the search of new treatments and ultimately a cure. The charity uses insight from people with the condition to shape and prioritise its work, as well as improving the experiences of taking part in research.

The UK DRI has united with Parkinson's UK to establish a new £10m research centre dedicated to better understanding the causes of Parkinson’s and finding new treatments to prevent, halt, and ultimately find cures for the condition.

The centre will identify new approaches to Parkinson’s prediction and prevention, alongside the development and testing of new treatments to prevent the onset, and slow or even reverse the progression of the condition.
