The outlet Crónica Digital highlighted the scientific panel discussion on Parkinson’s disease organized by the Graduate and Postgraduate Directorate of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Universidad de Santiago de Chile (Usach), sponsored by CEDENNA.
The article highlighted the participation of University of Cincinnati neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay, the keynote guest of the event, who shared advances and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of this neurodegenerative disease.
Among the main points discussed, the specialist emphasized that Parkinson’s is not a single disease, but multiple forms with different molecular characteristics in each patient, which raises the need to move towards personalized treatments.
The outlet also highlighted the contribution of CEDENNA researcher Dr. Pedro Chaná, director of the CEDENNA-Usach Center program and of CETRAM (Center for the Study of Movement Disorders), who stressed the importance of timely diagnosis.
