Our program offers a diverse range of research opportunities focused on the motor, cognitive, behavioral and emotional aspects of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders (PDMD). By exploring these interconnected areas, we aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of PDMD and develop more effective interventions to enhance the quality of life for those affected.
