Welcome to The Demoucelle Parkinson Charity Together with patients, their families, friends and colleagues, we believe - and are working to ensure - that Parkinson's disease can be cured!

We provide funding to the most promising research projects and raise awareness about the impact of this fast-growing neurodegenerative condition.

We encourage as many people as possible to join in by volunteering and fundraising.

'Be Present. Be Active. Beat Parkinson's.'

-- Patrick & Anne-Marie Demoucelle

Meet Sadie Vermeiren, a bio-engineering graduate from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), who has been awarded the 2nd Demoucelle Parkinson Charity Master’s Thesis Prize for her research on the protein DNAJC13 and its role in Parkinson’s disease. Conducted at the VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology, her work uncovers how disruptions in DNAJC13’s lipid-binding mechanisms may contribute to neurodegeneration.

Gen Li awarded FWO–DPC PhD Fellowship for Parkinson’s research on VPS13C gene

 - 
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.
