The Parkinson's Disease Think Tank is a unique experiment open to researchers of all types. It is based upon the following assumptions:

1) That Parkinson's Disease is a complex disorder requiring a collaborative effort by multiple disciplines;
2) That those disciplines include at a minimum neurology, immunology, endocrinology, and gastroenterology;
3) That the answers to many of the questions about PD already exist in the literature but that the incredible volume of the accumulated data requires a team approach; and
4) That technology has reached a point of critical mass that makes it possible for researchers from all over the world to combine their talents in search of a solution to a common problem.

This effort will succeed or fail based upon the level of participation by people like yourself. If the demands of career limit your time, then do what you can. The most valuable action you could perform would be to suggest a visit to your colleagues, staff, and students. Thank you in advance.
