We are thrilled to share an exclusive update with our EOPD.ie community from the University of Galway, highlighting the incredible Parkinson’s research happening in their newly established School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences.

This exciting work brings together a multinational team of researchers tackling Parkinson’s with innovative approaches, including stem cell therapies, hydrogel-assisted transplants, and advanced drug discovery. Many projects are supported by leading funders such as the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the European Union, and Science Foundation Ireland.

We also celebrate Professor Leo Quinlan, appointed as inaugural Head of the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, and Professor David J. Burn, newly appointed President of the University, a world-leading Parkinson’s expert bringing international leadership and collaboration to the team.

This brief snapshot into the Parkinson’s research team provides an exciting insight into the innovative, collaborative, and internationally focused work underway. The team, made up of talented researchers from Italy, France, Ireland, the US, and Iran, is driving forward pioneering projects. Under the leadership of this committed and visionary team, hope is on the horizon for people living with Parkinson’s.
