Our program has received considerable media attention, and our work has been published in leading scientific journals including Nature, JAMA, NEJM, and Cell.
• Help expand our program to other chronic conditions (e.g., Huntington disease, Multiple Sclerosis), conduct telemedicine visits, assist patients in accessing care virtually, and coordinate care for patients enrolled in our program.
• Draft research protocols, coordinate recruitment, enrollment, and evaluation of research participants in single or multi-center research studies of individuals with Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, and other chronic conditions
• Collect and analyze data, submit abstracts to and attend conferences internationally, and draft and edit manuscripts

Position benefits include:

• Quickly become a published author in leading peer-reviewed journals
• Present abstracts at national and international research conferences
