The YSM Community is invited to join a dean's workshop introducing our new inter-departmental Stephen & Denise Adams Center for Parkinson’s Disease Research led by founding Director Clemens Scherzer, MD. The session, titled "Building the Future of Precision Neurology," will be held on Thursday, March 27, from 1 to 5 p.m.
The center’s goal is to change the ways that Parkinson’s is diagnosed and treated, including through the use of predictive and preventive precision neurology and the power of genomics and artificial intelligence (AI). The workshop will introduce how the center is bringing together innovative physicians, scientists, and engineers from across Yale and beyond to advance Parkinson’s research and precision neurology in general. It will also discuss advances in decoding the genetic causes and pathophysiology of complex and familial forms of the disease and explore how digital twins and brains-on-chip simulations are facilitating innovative progress with applications for biological discovery, therapeutic targeting, and disease management.
This hybrid event, hosted by the School of Medicine dean’s office, will take place via Zoom and in person in 101 College Street's first floor conference room. As with previous workshops, we will provide a survey at the end to request your feedback.
