Join us at this free online research symposium to learn about Dr Philippe Huot’s research that is opening doors to new therapies to treat Parkinson’s disease.
Free online symposium: “Thursday 20 May at 5pm” (duration: 1 hour)
We are pleased to invite you to the largest Parkinson Quebec research event of the year: the Saucier – van Berkom Research Symposium.
One of the most important challenges in treating Parkinson’s disease is finding ways to reduce dyskinesias, the involuntary movements that most people with Parkinson’s eventually develop.
In this symposium, neurologist Dr Philippe Huot will present the study of the neuropharmacology of the basal ganglia and how modulating two brain chemicals, serotonin and glutamate, could open the door to new therapies to treat Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Huot uses experimental models of Parkinson’s disease to develop drugs for the condition.
“My lab is as much about finding treatments for the dyskinesia and psychosis seen in Parkinson’s disease as it is about developing a drug that would lead to a complete cure” – Dr Philippe Huot
