Multidisciplinary Research focused on Parkinson's Disease - MultiPark
MultiPark is a translational programme that ranges from pre-clinical research to studies on the life situation of patients with Parkinson's disease. Our programme not only aims at improving the patients' body function but also their activity and participation. This initiative relies on solid interactions between Lund University and Lund University Hospital with support from the University of Gothenburg.
