IAPRD 2023 Young Investigator Award Winners
Winners will present their studies at the 28th IAPRD Congress in Chicago, 13-16 May 2023 Mead, WA – May 10, 2023: The International Association of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders (IAPRD) recognizes three Young Investigators for their outstanding research in the field:
“These young investigators are performing cutting-edge research in Parkinson’s disease and dystonia that we are pleased to showcase at our Chicago meeting,” noted Dr. Mary Ann Chapman, Executive Director of the IAPRD.
Dr. Lin will present the results of her large cohort study of the AOPEP gene, a novel causative gene of autosomal recessive dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological condition of involuntary muscular contractions that lead to repetitive or twisting movements often of the neck or limbs. Mr. Royton will present the results of his study on postural control in Parkinson’s disease, focusing on the staging of postural control changes over the course of the disease. Dr. Torres Ballesteros will describe the results of her study on deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease, and specifically the use of image-guided programming to help improve patient responses.
The International Association of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders (IAPRD) is a non-profit professional association dedicated to promoting education and research in parkinsonism and related disorders. The IAPRD’s 28th World Congress will take place in Chicago at the McCormick Place Congress Center from 13-16 May 2023. Visit https://www.iaprd-world-congress.com for more information.
