Biennial International LRRK2 Meeting

Biennial International LRRK2 Meeting 2—4 September 2018

The Botanical Garden, Padua, Italy 

Leucine Rich Repeat Kinase 2 has emerged as a major genetic determinant of Parkinson's disease, placing this multidomain enzyme at the core of research efforts for the development of both disease modifying therapies as well as disease related biomarkers. Given the success of the previous LRRK2 focused meetings, we launch a third edition of this event where the latest biochemical, cellular and translational LRRK2 research will be discussed in the frame of future clinical applications.
