In the podcast series "Meet our scientists", young MultiPark researchers interview our research group leaders about their academic journey and main scientific focus. Listen to the new episode where Professor Malin Parmar describes the experimental road to the ongoing stem cell trials in Lund.

I the latest episode (nr. 14), Lluís welcomes the renowned Professor Malin Parmar. She leads the different approaches around the world that her lab utilizes to ultimately replenish the brains of Parkinson's patients with dopaminergic neurons, which are lost during the course of the disease.

One of these strategies is being evaluated in Lund to treat patients, with so far positive results in terms of safety. After decades of hard work, the possibility to have a safe and standarized way to target Parkinson's is closer than ever, all thanks to stem cells. Malin takes us on a journey through this complex scientific field, lighting the way for this Parkinson's revolution.
