The Udall Center of Excellence for Parkinson’s Disease Research is working to help families and patients understand and cope with the challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Your gift strengthens our work by providing U-M researchers with the freedom, resources and collaborative environment to produce breakthroughs in understanding the genetic causes of Parkinson’s and other movement disorders, as well as develop new treatment therapies.  Your generosity allows our neurologists and neuroscientists to pursue new ideas that push the limits of current knowledge and expand our ability to treat and cure.

To learn how to help, please contact Michael Harders, Managing Director of Development, at 734-763-1402 or [email protected].

Tribute gifts may be made in honor of someone battling disease, in gratitude to a loved one, or in recognition of a birthday, wedding, anniversary or other occasion. Memorial gifts may be made in memory of a loved one who has passed away.
