The Gut–Brain Axis in Parkinson’s Disease
The Dementia Research Society and Genetics Society are pleased to welcome Dr Tim Bartels for an in-depth academic talk exploring the emerging role of the gut–brain axis in Parkinson’s disease.
Dr Bartels is a leading expert in Parkinson’s disease and protein misfolding. He is Head of the Parkinson’s Disease Theme at the UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL, where he also leads the programme “Structure–Function Relationship in Neurodegeneration.” His lab focuses on understanding how different forms of the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein drive Parkinson’s disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, and Multiple System Atrophy, with particular interest in lipid biology, non-neuronal cells, and gut–brain interactions.
