Dr Lorraine Kalia "Drug repurposing for Parkinson's therapies"

Some of the most promising disease modifying therapies being developed at the moment are based on drug repurposing (eg Exenatide/Ambroxol), making this webinar essential for anyone suffering from Parkinson's or caring for someone suffering from Parkinson's.Dr Lorraine Kalia shares with us her expertise and brings us up to date with the latest news.Dr. Lorraine Kalia is an associate professor and a clinician-scientist at the University of Toronto in Canada.
