The Michael J. Fox Foundation relies on leading experts around the world who dedicate their time and insight to help us shape our research strategy.
At the Michael J. Fox Foundation, we have been fortunate to assemble a remarkable global network of hundreds of scientific experts and advisors who are dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease.
We rely on these experts in many aspects of our day-to-day operations by looking to them for grant reviews and assessments, relying on their insight in workshops and integrating their voices into program-specific advisory boards.
Our approach allows us to draw on a broad range of expertise and perspectives and ensures that our research strategies are informed by the latest scientific knowledge and trends. We are proud to work with such an exceptional group of advisors, and we appreciate their guidance as it helps us to accelerate progress toward a cure for Parkinson's.
We would like to acknowledge the insight and advice provided by the following advisors who helped us in 2023.
