The second edition of the conference « PHysiopathology Of Parkinson’s disEase » was held in Paris on January 29-31, 2020.

This meeting focused on the genetic and environmental determinants of Parkinson’s disease, and their molecular mechanisms and modeling. The aim of the conference is to promote a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, as well as new perspectives in the fields of preclinical, clinical, imaging and biomarker research.

European and French research in these fields has led to major advances and, in some cases, proposed new biomarkers and symptomatic treatments. At the clinical level, various meetings and networks such as F-CRIN have emerged, but there is a need to promote similar initiatives on basic aspects of Parkinson’s disease pathophysiology and its modeling. This would greatly foster collaboration in this field and integration of basic and clinical research, whether academic, industrial, or linked to associations.

We managed to gather the entire French research community working on basic, preclinical and clinical aspects of Parkinson’s disease. All regions of France were represented, as well as associations and foundations supporting Parkinson’s disease research, and numerous foreign speakers contributed to the program.
