  • "Mucuna Pruriens and the future of Parkinson's care in low income countries" present by Dr Roberto Cilia
    Oct 17 2024

    Dr Roberto Cilia spoke to us on the topic of "Mucuna Pruriens and the future of Parkinson's care in low income countries"

    There is much discussion by PwP as to the benefits of using this "natural " form of Levadopa as an alternative or in addition to prescribed Levadopa so it is very interesting to hear this presentation and the answers to the very high number of questions in the Q&A that follows it.

    Roberto's main focus is on using mucuna to treat Parkinson's patients in countries where levodopa is either not available or not affordable. This is a great opportunity to learn about this important legume!

    Dr. Roberto Cilia is a renowned movement disorder specialist based in Milan, Italy. With extensive experience in neurology, he has dedicated his career to improving the lives of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.

    Prof Sonia Gandhi joined us to share her expertise on how Mitochondria affects PD with an excellent presentation followed by a very probing Q&A by our well informed audience.

    Prof Gandhi is a leading expert in the process of protein misfolding, in which smaller proteins, monomers, join together to form larger proteins, oligomers, and how this process may drive organellar dysfunction and cell toxicity in neurodegeneration.

    Sonia obtained a BA in Neuroscience at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, in 1996, and completed her degree in Medicine at New College, University of Oxford, in 1999. She trained in postgraduate medicine at the Hammersmith Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and Whittington Hospital.
