Meet the Researchers: APDA Cotzias Fellowship Awardee, William Zeiger, MD, PhD

Описание: The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) proudly invests in the most promising clinicians and scientific projects focused on the discovery of the cause(s) and finding the cure(s) for Parkinson’s disease (PD). The George C. Cotzias Fellowship is APDA’s most prestigious grant and is awarded to a young physician-scientist with exceptional promise who is establishing a career in research, teaching, and clinical services relevant to Parkinson’s. The award spans three years and is designed to fund a long-range project focused on PD.
Dr. Zeiger, from The Regents of the University of California, Los Angeles, was awarded the Cotzias fellowship in 2024. In this video he discusses his APDA-funded research on understanding the specific cells and circuits in the brain that can contribute to cognitive dysfunction in PD. Thinking and memory problems can be big challenges for people with PD.
