Researchers at Cedars-Sinai are receiving $9 million in funding to investigate whether exposure to pesticides and air pollution increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. This study is part of a larger collaborative research effort called the Aligning Science Across Parkinson's initiative. The goal is to understand environmental factors that may trigger or contribute to Parkinson's development.
Scientists at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University are part of a team that will use a $9 million grant from the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative to study the connection between exposure to pesticides and air pollutants and the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The grant is part of ASAP’s Collaborative Research Network (CRN), a […] The post Scientists to study link between pesticides and Parkinson’s appeared first on Parkinson's News Today .
