Mission
The Quebec Parkinson Network’s main mission is to join forces. It is a movement to promote multidisciplinary research on Parkinson’s disease. This gathering covers three essential elements for the conduct of large-scale research projects:
- Gathering of Quebec’s researchers and clinicians who work on Parkinson’s disease
- Gathering of patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease across the province of Quebec who wish to support and take part in research
- Gathering of data allowing the creation of three distinct databases:
- Patient registry
- Clinical, neuroimaging, neuropsychological and sleep databases
- Biobank
