A new blood test created by #USask researchers could mean faster diagnosis of the most devastating and aggressive types of Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Chris Phenix (PhD), an associate professor of chemistry in USask’s College of Arts and Science, said rapid detection of aggressive Parkinson’s could lead to better outcomes for patients and provide new insight into the disease for medical researchers.

“Being able to rapidly screen for aggressive forms is going to be very helpful because you can start initiating therapies very, very shortly after diagnosis.”

Head to the USask news site to read more about this very important research being done right here in Saskatchewan.
