Congratulations to Unit scientist Dr Gerd Tinkhauser who has been awarded a prestigious grant from the Swiss Parkinson Association in support of his research project entitled “Electrophysiological recordings to optimise deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease”. This project is a collaboration between the Unit and the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, University Hospital Bern, Switzerland.

Gerd joined the Unit after receiving a Research Training Fellowship from the European Academy of Neurology, and has already produced encouraging results for his new project.
