Experts, Dr. Kwang-Soo Kim and Dr. Agnete Kirkeby, will provide us with a summary on the state of the field. Stem cell therapies are progressing through clinical trials from multiple research teams around the world and are very promising candidates for a true new Parkinson’s drug. This cutting-edge work is investigating ways to synthesize stem cells and turn them into dopamine neurons to replace the ones lost in the brain during the progression of Parkinson’s.
