Parkinson’s Disease affects around a million people in the United States. And that number is on the rise, in part because our population is getting older.
Dr. Claire Henchcliffe, chair of neurology at the University of California, Irvine, is one of the scientists at the forefront of Parkinson’s research. She's working toward new treatment options for Parkinson’s, including recent discoveries about the potential use of stem cells.
