Meet Gen Li, researcher at the VIB–KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research and recipient of the second FWO–Demoucelle Parkinson Charity PhD Fellowship. His work focuses on understanding how mutations in the VPS13C gene contribute to early-onset Parkinson’s disease and related Lewy body disorders. By studying how these mutations disrupt communication between cellular organelles, Gen aims to uncover new therapeutic targets to protect brain cells and slow disease progression.

Find out more about the two new disease-modifying studies that the Demoucelle Parkinson Charity has decided to fund, bringing the total number of projects supported to 20.
