Are there food items that are beneficial or harmful for PD? If medicines are no longer very effective, what are the alternatives to managing PD? Are natural sources of dopamine better than medications? Are drug holidays or DBS holidays beneficial or harmful? Is there a role for Glutathione for PD?

Detecting and Targeting Alpha Synuclein: Are We on a Path Toward a Cure for Parkinson's?

We are now doing live, in-person events!

The Movement Disorders Foundation of Arizona (MDFA) will be hosting an Educational Seminar on September 23, 2023 at 9:00am – 12:00pm AZ time with Dr. Padma Mahant, and Dr. Virgilio Gerald H. Evidente as presenters.

Research has shown that the abnormal protein that accumulates in the cells in Parkinson’s Disease and leads to degeneration of cells is phosphorylated alpha synuclein. Dr. Padma Mahant will be discussing the different ways that alpha synuclein can be detected in different tissues, how these tests can be used to differentiate Parkinson’s disease from other parkinsonian syndromes, and the clinical trials that have focused on removing the pathological alpha synuclein from the brain and tissues. She will also discuss if removal of the alpha synuclein can potentially be the avenue of cure for Parkinson’s.
