Discover Lipid Biomarkers for Parkinson's Disease Using MS

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for improving quality of life and slowing the progression of the disease.

Recent research has shown that changes in the levels and ratios of certain lipids can be used to identify people who are at risk for developing PD. Blaine Roberts, Ph.D., will discuss his work using ion mobility mass spectrometry (TIMS) to identify disease-specific lipid isomers that could be used for the early detection of PD.

Join Blaine Roberts, Ph.D., department of Biochemistry at Emory University, as he discusses his research into how lipids can be used as biomarkers for Parkinson's disease.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• The evidence that suggests lipids could be a valuable biomarker in PD
• The complexity of lipid metabolism in Parkinson’s disease and how to measure specific lipids
• How the TIMS can be used to identify disease-specific lipid isomers for the early detection of PD

This webinar would be of interest to:

• Researchers studying PD
• Clinicians who treat patients with PD
• Anyone who is interested in learning more about the latest research on PD
