Pushing ahead Parkinson's research: For six years, TAU's Aufzien Family Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, together with the Neurological Institute at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, has promoted research by joining scientists, clinicians, patients, and industry together in the search for a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. After five years of progress, the Aufzien family, longtime friends of TAU, have renewed their support for an additional five years bringing continued hope to sufferers of this disease. The gift was celebrated in a moving ceremony at this year’s Board of Governors meeting. Connections made through the Aufzien Center have already begun to pay off: it has funded 37 research projects conducted by 65 faculty members and 200 graduate students and post-docs. In addition, the number of laboratories investigating Parkinson’s disease at TAU has grown from 13 to 58, with labs both on campus and at 18 different hospitals. TAU Governor Jonathon Aufzien: “My parents have been very involved with the University in general and with Parkinson’s efforts for many years because of my mother’s disease. We hope that over the next five years, the progress continues and perhaps accelerates to make a difference for sufferers of a disease that can be extremely devastating.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/dw_bJt6E Watch below:
