Chatting With Alex
Tragically, Alex died in the fall of 2021 during a training expedition in preparation for climbing Mount Everest. #Keepmoving
Alex was diagnosed with young onset sporadic Parkinson’s disease and has volunteered to let us use his cells for modeling Parkinson’s disease to better understand causes for neurodegeneration. In a dialogue with Alex, we will explain the journey of how his skin cells become a model for Parkinson's disease.
The blog goes behind the scenes of cutting-edge research through the eyes of Alex, a Parkinson's Disease patient whose stem cells are being used to develop a cure. Check out the blog here.
