Better treatments for Parkinson’s disease depend on increasing our understanding of why Parkinson’s develops and how it progresses. The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s landmark study, the Parkinson’s Precision Medicine Initiative (PPMI), is expanding to better answer those questions.

In this episode of The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson’s Podcast, Maggie Kuhl, vice president of patient engagement at MJFF, leads a conversation about these efforts with:

• Kenneth Marek, MD, co-founder of the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders and PPMI’s principal investigator
• Sohini Chowdhury, MJFF’s chief program officer
• Donna Rajkovic, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2012 and joined PPMI the same year
