Dr J William Langston
Dr Langston is the founder, Scientific Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Parkinson's Institute in Sunnyvale, California. He is internationally recognized for the discovery of the link between MPTP and parkinsonism, which has provided an entirely new tool to study neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease and stimulated great interest finding environmental factors that may cause the disease. His current research interests include the study of mechanisms of neuronal degeneration, the etiology of Parkinson’s disease, and the development of new strategies to slow or halt disease progression. Dr Langston serves on numerous editorial boards and advisory committees and is Chief Scientific Advisor for Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research.
