Focus

Dr. McFarland is a member of the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases and the Center for Translational Research in Neurodegenerative Disease (CTRND), which aims to bring the bench research closer to the bedside. His research focuses on understanding the pathological mechanisms of Parkinson disease and related disorders, and on identifying novel biomarkers for early detection and tracking of disease and therapeutic development. A primary goal of his research is to identify and to develop potential novel therapeutics for Parkinson disease and related disorders. His research extends also to the clinic where he is actively involved in multiple clinical trials for atypical Parkinson disorders and Huntington disease.
