I am delighted to announce that our next NoSilverBullet Zoom session will be taking place at 7.30pm London time on Tuesday the 5th of September.
Dr. Lorraine Kalia, associate professor and clinician-scientist at the University of Toronto, will be talking to us about “Drug repurposing for PD therapies”.
Some of the most promising disease modifying therapies being developed at the moment are based on drug repurposing (e.g. Exenatide and Ambroxol), making this webinar essential for anyone suffering from Parkinson's or caring for someone suffering from Parkinson's.
