Parkinson’s disease involves the loss of critical nerve cells in the brain—so replacing those missing cells seems like a logical solution. While stem cell and cell-replacement research has long been complex and slow-moving, the momentum is finally shifting. Recent breakthroughs and promising clinical trials are bringing real optimism to the field.

Join us on January 15 , 7PM ET for Dr. Gilbert Hosts: Stem Cells & Parkinson’s Disease -- an inspiring and informative discussion with two world-renowned Parkinson’s research leaders: Dr. Jun Takahashi of the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA) in Kyoto, Japan, and Dr. Claire Henchcliffe of the University of California, Irvine. Together, they’ll explore the rapidly evolving science behind cell-replacement therapies for Parkinson’s disease—and what it could mean for the future.
