This event, being hosted by PUK and the 4 Scottish RIGs for World Parkinson's Day, promises to be a fascinating event. We will be hearing from researchers who are at the cutting edge of PD research globally, based here in Scotland. As well as consultants and People with Parkinson's and their families.
This year DRIG's Open Doors Day at the Dundee University Life Sciences Labs will start with a coffee, pastries and welcome. This will be followed by the morning information talks from five key Parkinson's research scientists (and their non-scientist DRIG partners - a new addition this year, aiming to help non-scientists' understanding of the scientific content), followed by lunch and a chance to chat to the research teams and sign up for your preferred lab tour.
