Qatar spearheads global Parkinson's effort
Dr. Hilal Al Ashoul, a neuroscience professor at Weill Cornell Medicine - Qatar, is leading an international team with a $9 million grant to research Parkinson's disease. The goal is to understand the causes of toxic protein aggregation in the brain and develop treatments that target the root causes of the disease, which affects 10 to 12 million people worldwide and is expected to double to 25 million by 2050. This project follows a grant he received from the "Aligning Sciences around Parkinson's Disease" initiative, in partnership with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, reflecting Qatar's growing research prominence in the biomedical field.
