Centers for Neurodegeneration Science
Program Description
Spurred by recent scientific findings, there is now an emerging appreciation that Parkinson's disease (PD), like most human diseases, reflects the interaction of genetic susceptibility with environmental exposure(s). What is lacking, however, is a clear mechanistic understanding of the nature of such interactions in disease causation. Such information is essential for developing rational approaches to disease prevention and intervention. To accelerate the pace of progress in this important area and the translation of findings into the public health arena, the NIEHS has created a Collaborative Centers for Parkinson's Disease Environmental Research (CCPDER) Consortium Program to foster multidisciplinary research approaches to elucidate gene-environment interactions in Parkinson's Disease .
