About PD Online Research

PD Online Research is a web-based community of Parkinson's disease scientists, clinicians, healthcare providers, drug makers and funders. We want to encourage timely sharing of ideas and information and foster debate to speed up research progress, therapeutic development and smart decision-making by scientists and funders.

Members can post instantly and without moderation. There’s no peer review here. We invite comments on published research papers, recent conferences, and general topics of interest in the PD field. We aim to break down communication barriers so that everyone is on an even playing field.

PD Online Research is our version of an experiment. We believe that a forum for free information exchange about PD research will accelerate the whole enterprise. And that’s our ultimate goal—to rapidly turn research ideas into therapies and a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
