Seminar at ParkC
Saturday 22 November
With over 300 people attending the seminar the day was a huge success. Dr Barker is an excellent speaker who is genuinely passionate about his work and improving the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s. He is able to engage his audience and explain complex ideas clearly. Dr Barker has been researching Parkinson’s for over 10 years. He is very supportive and encouraging of ParkC. The research that ParkC is undertaking directly links to the work that Dr Barker has been doing for the last decade. Being able to collaborate at this level is extremely exciting for us at ParkC. It is also a unique opportunity for people living with Parkinson’s in Perth to be part of cutting edge world class research.
