Multimodal PD biomarker detection<br />

Suggested links between PD <strong>and</strong> single<br />

genetic, imaging, <strong>and</strong> biologic factors.<br />

Many of these are non-specific or<br />

insensitive.<br />

Single modality biomarkers may not fully<br />

address the complexity of PD.<br />

We regard PD as a complex, systems-level,<br />

multi-dimensional disorder with discrete, but<br />

functionally integrated manifestations.<br />

We are developing methods to define<br />

multimodal PD biomarkers from a massive<br />

number of hypothesis driven <strong>and</strong> exploratory<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idate markers.<br />
