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 />
