Thanks a million to Joan Cooney for choosing to fundraise for Eopd.ie on Facebook as part of her recent Birthday celebrations. Joan has been living with Parkinson’s for many years and is inspirational to us especially to those newly diagnosed.
Eopd.ie is delighted to welcome Prof. Eilis Dowd from NUI Galway who leads a Parkinson’s research team there. They are currently working on a stem cell project which is funded by Michael J Fox’s Foundation, and in this talk, Eilís will give us the latest update on this research, which is working towards repairing the brain affected by Parkinson's.
