06/02/2026 — Prof. Hilal A. Lashuel, professor of neuroscience in neurology at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q)—a Qatar Foundation partner university—has been awarded a $9 million three-year research grant from Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) in partnership with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF).
Decoding the Blueprint: Advancing Personalized Parkinson’s Treatments
05/21/2026 — In our community, we often hear: “If you’ve met one person with Parkinson’s, you’ve met one person with Parkinson’s.” This isn’t just an adage — it’s a biological reality. This radical variability is exactly what makes the disease so difficult to outsmart. We’ve learned that a puzzle this fragmented cannot be solved with a single, broad stroke. Our goal isn’t to find one answer for everyone, but the right answer for the right person at the right time.
