The Michael J. Fox Foundation is at it again, they just don’t know how to stop, and thankfully so. The MJFF, as I like to call it, has been very active in seeking a cure for the disease, and they have sought different ways to fuel research and specific studies for those cures. MJFF has partnered with the New York Academy of Sciences will co-host the inaugural Parkinson’s disease Therapeutics Conference on Thursday, October 25, in New York City.
The conference will bring together academic and industry scientists to assess and discuss how novel scientific advances can be applied to accelerate the development of innovative drug discovery approaches to Parkinson’s disease. Select MJFF-funded investigators will present research on topics including novel neuroprotective agents, innovative mechanisms to address disease symptoms and improvements in relevant animal models, and biomarker discovery/development.
I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the MJFF, they truly are doing everything they can to cure Parkinson’s disease. I wish more people, foundations, or organizations would follow the example of MJFF and relentlessly find cures for other diseases.
