  • 00:01Alright.
  • 00:02So exciting to start this
  • 00:04symposium.
  • 00:06It's exciting that we're, for
  • 00:07the very first time, in
  • 00:09the new, one zero one
  • 00:10college building, the new the
  • 00:12new, worldwide center of the
  • 00:14Adams
  • 00:15Center for Parkinson's Disease Research.
  • 00:18Thank you all for coming,
  • 00:19and especially,
  • 00:21our friends from from Boston
  • 00:23and and New York.
  • 00:25Thank you for making making
  • 00:27the trip. We're excited to
  • 00:28work with you.
  • 00:31One of the most exciting
  • 00:33things at Yale
  • 00:35is that the leadership
  • 00:37is absolutely
  • 00:38committed to advancing precision medicine,
  • 00:42AI,
  • 00:43and genomic medicine.
  • 00:45And,
  • 00:47they really have put wind
  • 00:48in our sails, and it
  • 00:50makes all the difference.
  • 00:51And so it is my
  • 00:53distinct
  • 00:55honor and joy,
  • 00:58that
  • 00:59the leader who has made
  • 01:00this all possible, who has
  • 01:02made the Adam Center possible,
  • 01:03the this workshop possible,
  • 01:06will now kick off the
  • 01:08meeting. Please,
  • 01:10give a round of applause
  • 01:11for,
  • 01:12the dean of Yale
  • 01:14School of Medicine,
  • 01:15Nancy Brown.
  • 01:22I think it's the Steve
  • 01:23and Denise Adams who made
  • 01:25the Adams Center possible, just
  • 01:27just to point out.
  • 01:28For those of you who
  • 01:29are joining from,
  • 01:31from North and South,
  • 01:33these workshops are an opportunity
  • 01:35to bring people together from,
  • 01:37across the school and, of
  • 01:38course, across the region. And
  • 01:40so it's my pleasure to
  • 01:41welcome you to,
  • 01:43this particular workshop in building
  • 01:44the future of precision,
  • 01:46neurology.
  • 01:47And I think this will
  • 01:48do two things. It will
  • 01:49highlight the mission of this
  • 01:51center,
  • 01:52but also
  • 01:54bring together
  • 01:56a group of people who
  • 01:57are really working on predictive
  • 01:58and preventive precision,
  • 02:00neurology,
  • 02:01and as Clemens said,
  • 02:03using both genomics and AI.
  • 02:05And you can read in
  • 02:07your program this description.
  • 02:09I think the notion that
  • 02:10we can,
  • 02:12drive this center, that we
  • 02:14can, through discovery,
  • 02:17drive both diagnoses
  • 02:19and targeted therapy,
  • 02:21is really important, and particularly
  • 02:23in the complex and familial
  • 02:24forms
  • 02:25of of the disease.
  • 02:27We're also very excited about
  • 02:28the work ongoing in Parkinson's
  • 02:30and in other diseases using
  • 02:32digital twins,
  • 02:34and and ultimately,
  • 02:36brains on a chip simulations.
  • 02:38So in this workshop, you'll
  • 02:40hear from, a number of
  • 02:42our Yale colleagues. You'll also
  • 02:43hear from, Luke p Lee,
  • 02:45who is professor of medicine
  • 02:47at Harvard Medical School and
  • 02:48senior investigator at Brigham and
  • 02:49Women's.
  • 02:51We'll also have a couple
  • 02:52of panel discussions
  • 02:53that I think will be
  • 02:54very rich,
  • 02:55later.
  • 02:57And we are led, and
  • 02:58I'm about to turn the
  • 02:59program over to doctor Clement
  • 03:01Searcher, who is the director
  • 03:03of the Stevens and Denise
  • 03:04Adams
  • 03:05Center for Parkinson's Disease Research.
  • 03:08Many of you may know
  • 03:09that Steve and Denise also,
  • 03:12contributed significantly to the building
  • 03:14of a new
  • 03:15neuroscience
  • 03:16tower in our health system,
  • 03:17which will allow us,
  • 03:20provide a home where we
  • 03:21can implement these discoveries.
  • 03:23So, Clemens, I'm gonna turn
  • 03:24it over to you.
