Membership for the Movement Disorders Center is reserved for the scientific community.
The MDC was founded in 2012 with a mission to establish an international enter for excellence in movement disorders-related research, education, clinical care, and community outreach.
Bench-side and bed-side research plays an important role in all that the Center does. We want to work closer with those who lay the ground work for our research, foster collaborations, and improve basic science.
Currently, the MDC is looking for neuroscientists whose research overlaps with movement disorders or who are interested in pursuing a career in movement disorders-related research. The neurological disease we are interested in include Parkinson disease, parkinsonian conditions, Huntington’s disease, chorea, myloclonus, tics, dystonia, tremor, ataxia, and cerebellar disorders.We are also interested in collaborationg with neuroscientists involved or interested in research on movement, neurodegenerative disease, neuroprotection, dopamine and basal ganglia function, brain stimulation, and other research fields that may be pertinent to movement disorders.
