Knowledge Gaps in Parkinson's Disease

Dear colleagues,

The Movement Disorder Society and the Italian Association for Parkinson’s disease and Extrapyramidal Disorders (LIMPE) are pleased to invite you to attend the “1st International Conference on Knowledge Gaps in Parkinson's disease and Other Movement Disorders” to be held in Taormina, Italy, on February 5-7, 2010. This 3-day symposium will gather researchers from 26 movement disorders centers to discuss the current areas of need in our field and propose pathways to address them.

In an effort to catalyze ideas into international collaborations, we also encourage you to submit an entry for the “Research Ideas to Bridge Knowledge Gaps” Award. Research Ideas should be hypothesis-driven and be accompanied by suggested methods to carry it out. The intrinsic importance of the idea in bridging current knowledge gaps will outweigh feasibility and other logistics concerns in judging the winning Research Idea submission.


Send your "Research Ideas to Bridge Knowledge Gaps" and/or any questions to gaps.in.mds@gmail.com.
