“20 years of alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's Disease and related synucleinopathies: from the bedside to the bench and back to the patient“.

The meeting, a continuation of the tradition of biennial alpha-synuclein-related meetings that have been held for more than 10 years, celebrates the 20-year anniversary of the discovery of the link of the alpha-synuclein gene to familial Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and of the presence of alpha-synuclein as the main constituent of Lewy Bodies that characterize PD.
