Getting Ready for the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders

Banner for the 2019 International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders.

The International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders takes place next week in Nice, France. Each year, this meeting brings together thousands of clinicians, researchers, and members of industry working on movement disorders such as Parkinson’s. This year’s theme is focused on how research breakthroughs get translated into patient care. That is also a focus of our Edmond J. Safra Fellowship in Movement Disorders program, and many current and graduated fellows are included in our highlights below. There will be many opportunities to connect with The Michael J. Fox Foundation's (MJFF) staff during the Congress, which runs from September 22 through 26. Visit us at Non-profit Table #1 in the Exhibits section of the Congress.
