Show Notes
Faith and science are not often discussed together, but science requires a leap of faith. A few years ago, MJFF staff scientists, Samantha Hutten, PhD and Katie Kopil, PhD never would have guessed that a leap of faith and a cold call to a researcher in Texas would lead to a tool that, for the first time, can detect Parkinson’s in people who have not yet shown symptoms. With the help of the countless community members taking part in the PPMI study, these researchers found a biomarker for Parkinson’s. Hear all about the journey to the breakthrough and what it means to the Parkinson’s community in this rich discussion with some of the humans behind it.
