The Michael Stern Parkinson’s Research Foundation provides major support for three laboratories: 

The Greengard Laboratory, The Rockefeller University.  

The Michael Stern Parkinson’s Research Foundation was established in 2001 to support and expand the pioneering research of Paul Greengard, Ph.D, at The Rockefeller University.  Dr. Greengard discovered the fundamental rules by which neurons process the signals they receive – work that earned him medicine’s highest honor, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Dr. Greengard’s research continues to focus on neural communication and the breakdown in communication that causes Parkinson’s disease. 

The Michael Stern Foundation Parkinson’s Disease Research Center at Harvard University and McLean Hospital

Under the direction of Ole Isacson, MD, The Stern Research Center at Harvard University’s McLean Hospital, focuses on new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of P Parkinson’s disease, including the development of stem cell transplantation to replace dying dopamine neurons.

The Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders

The Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders, in New Haven, CT, under the leadership of Kenneth Marek, MD, and John Seibyl, MD, uses neuroimaging to improve early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, track response to treatment, and understand how Parkinson’s disease affects all regions of the brain.

Of every dollar raised by The Michael Stern Parkinson’s Research Foundation 94 cents goes directly to research programs.
