MIND - MGH

I would like to tell you a bit about the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease (MIND).
The Institute was established to accelerate research discoveries that will lead to treatment and cures – sooner, rather than later. A team of world-renowned experts together with young, innovative researchers are now working in a center that allows them to collaborate, strategize, and share technology to move from basic research to treatment for these diseases. As promising leads are developed in one area, they can be tested in the other neurodegenerative disorders.
Since many of the researchers at the Institute are physician-scientists, translating basic research to clinical applications that will improve the lives of patients is at the core of the MIND’s mission. The MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease’s model of collaboration and sharing of resources will hasten the pace of discovery and, we hope, change the prognosis for these diseases in this generation.

World PD Congress

The World Parkinson Congress will take place in Washington DC, in February 2006. This will be a great opportunity for scientists to discuss the latest and greatest advances on PD research. You can learn more about it at http://www.worldpdcongress.org/
