Parkinson’s disease affects over 10 million people globally and is rapidly becoming the world’s fastest-growing neurological disorder. Despite its widespread impact, there’s still much we don’t understand about its underlying causes, how to mitigate disease progression, or overcome real-world challenges to improve quality of life.

About Research on Tap

The Research on Tap series, sponsored by the BU Office of Research, brings together groups of BU researchers around important topics. At each event, 10-12 researchers present a maximum of four slides and deliver a four-minute “elevator pitch” of their work. Research on Tap events are open to faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students. Each presentation is followed by refreshments and lively discussion with colleagues and potential collaborators.
