DESCRIPTION:*Note Change of Date - now June 6th 2023*\n\n*Theme: Lifelong 
 Brain Development and Brain Ageing*\n*Theme: Beyond the Neuron: glia\, vas
 cular and immune cells*\n\n*Biography:* Caroline Williams-Gray is a Princi
 pal Research Associate in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences\, Unive
 rsity of Cambridge\, and an honorary consultant neurologist specializing i
 n Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. She leads a translational 
 research group investigating the clinical and biological heterogeneity of 
 PD\, with the ultimate goal of developing more targeted therapies for diff
 erent Parkinson’s subtypes. Her recent work has focused on the theory th
 at the immune system plays a significant role in mediating the heterogenei
 ty of PD and its progression. Her lab is investigating this using blood an
 d CSF-based immune markers\, PET neuroimaging and neuropathology in strati
 fied PD cohorts\; and she is leading the first randomized controlled trial
  repurposing a peripheral immunosuppressive drug (azathioprine) to slow th
 e progression of PD. \n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us
