Visit Prof. Poewe

On Monday the 9th and on Tuesday the 10th of October, Prof. Poewe, from the University of Innsbruck visited Groningen.

Prof. Poewe is one of the key-opinion leaders in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson’s disease. On Mondday he gave a very clear and inspiring lecture on the development of algorithms for prodromal stages of PA and conversions risks. These algorithms become more and more important since very recent and accumulating evidence shows that there might be medical options to modulate the disease course of PD (eg. Athauda et al. Lancet 2017). On Tuesday, prof. Poewe had an interactive session with the PhD students working on Parkinsons disease in the UMCG.
