Parkinson’s Disease Research

The Kunath laboratory at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine is dedicated to finding novel treatments to slow, halt, reverse, or prevent Parkinson’s. In 2011, they published the first human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived in Scotland with a Parkinson’s genetic mutation. They are experts in converting Parkinson’s stem cells into dopamine-producing neurons to test out novel treatments for Parkinson’s. Prof Kunath has shared the Parkinson’s iPS cells with over 20 national and international labs to accelerate global efforts to find a cure for this disease. Your donation will go directly to Parkinson’s research in the Kunath laboratory and will bring us that much closer to finding a cure for this serious condition.
