The scientists behind the Science of Parkinson’s disease website work at Cambridge University and are associated – through their research – with the Wellcome Trust/MRC Cambridge Stem cell institute.
Throughout July, the Stem cell institute is running the #MyView campaign which aims to raise awareness about all of the latest developments in stem cell research.
Of particular interest to the Parkinson’s community will be the work being conducted in Prof Roger Barker’s lab (he of the 2016 Gretschen Amphlet Memorial lecture). The Stem cell institute made a video about the research being conducted in Prof Barker’s lab – viewed through the eyes of someone with Parkinson’s disease. It provides an interesting view of the working being carried out:
We encourage all of our readers to get involved with the #myview discussion and to follow the campaign of social media via Youtube, Facebook, & Twitter.
As scientists we are always very keen to hear the views of people in the Parkinson’s community (both sufferers and carers). It is through campaigns like this that we can gain new insight from different view points.
