Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Symposium: Parkinson's Disease. January 25, 2024. 12:30pm – 6:30pm PT.

Join the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at a symposium on Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder of aging and the most common movement disorder. This symposium invites anybody interested in the science of brain resilience. Renowned experts in the field will share their latest research on PD and help us better understand the remarkable resilience of the human brain. Connect with fellow attendees at a celebratory social gathering after the event.

Date: Thursday, January 25, 2024
Time: 12:30pm – 6:30pm PST
Location: Li Ka Shing Center (LKSC), Paul Berg Hall
