Have you ever wondered what the journey of someone living with Parkinson’s disease looks like? Meet our scientist, Professor Per Odin! He shares his experiences of the bumpy road faced by patients he has supported over the years, both in healthcare and in research studies.

Parkinson’s disease is a long, challenging course; one that science works tirelessly to understand, where halting neurodegeneration remains a formidable challenge. Per Odin is a Professor in the Restorative Parkinson Unit at Lund University and a Senior Consultant at Skåne University Hospital. He is also Vice-Coordinator of MultiPark.

In this episode, we explore how patients first reach the clinic, what daily life with the disease entails, the options for diagnosis, the treatments available, and what the near future might hold for the field. With decades of experience, he offers a panoramic view of the science, the care, and the human stories behind this complex condition.
