The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. The Foundation recognizes the importance of funding and supporting research studies dedicated to better understanding the causes of PD, developing more effective treatments, and ultimately finding a cure. The Foundation awards research grants to support investigators working on diverse research projects, along with collaborating with other institutions to advance PD research.

One of its major initiatives is exploring the genes and other factors associated with the development of PD through a global project, PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease. By gathering genetic information from tens of thousands of people with PD, this study offers genetic testing for relevant disease-related genes and genetic counseling to help participants understand their results, all at no cost to them. At the same time, knowledge gathered through PD GENEration will promote more focused, gene-specific clinical trials of drugs and may lead to novel therapy options for people with PD. In this episode, we explore the origins of PD GENEration, its growth over the years, and its goals with Dr. James Beck, Chief Scientific Officer of the Parkinson’s Foundation.
