MATRIX is pleased to support the Parkinson’s Foundation - As a world-leading Parkinson's research supporter since 1957, trailblazing discoveries — aimed at easing, curing and preventing the disease — drive us forward. While the cause of Parkinson's is still unknown, through a history of strategic research and care investments of more than $510 million, we steer transformative progress to help uncover the mystery of this disease.
Parkinson’s Foundation research funding has led to breakthroughs, including:
-
The discovery of alpha-synuclein — the first gene associated with Parkinson's.
-
The first standard tools to measure Parkinson's progression — the Hoehn and Yahr scale.
-
Publishing the first double-blind clinical trial of carbidopa/levodopa (Sinemet®) in collaboration with Merck, Inc.
-
Developing the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, now widely used in PD research and clinical trials.
