Scientists to study link between pesticides and Parkinson’s

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.

WHY IT MATTERSIf this research confirms a link between pesticide exposure and Parkinson's risk, it could help patients and their doctors identify preventable environmental triggers and inform lifestyle or occupational safety decisions.

MJFF and ASAP invest $261M in global network for Parkinson’s research

Two major Parkinson's disease research organizations are giving $261 million to fund 32 new research teams around the world. This money will help scientists better understand what causes Parkinson's disease and develop treatments tailored to individual patients instead of one-size-fits-all approaches.

WHY IT MATTERSThis funding expansion means more research teams globally are working on personalized Parkinson's treatments, which could lead to therapies that work better for your specific type of disease rather than generic treatments.
