Parkinson's disease - The Neurodegenerative Diseases Initiative (HD) | A film by the Wellcome Trust

Three bold new research programmes focusing on devastating neurodegenerative diseases - Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and motor neurone disease - have received major funding from the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council.

In this short interview, we meet Professors Nicholas Wood, John Hardy and Anthony Schapira at the Institute of Neurology, London, as they outline the changing face of Parkinson's disease research and their hopes to fully understand its causes and effects at the genetic level.
