Professor Joaquim Ferreira is a Professor of Neurology and Clinical Pharmacology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon and Head of the Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. He completed his medical degree and PhD in Neurology at the University of Lisbon. He became interested in movement disorders during his medical degree and later undertook a Clinical Pharmacology fellowship with Prof Olivier Rascol in Toulouse, France. He is currently the chair of the European Section of The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. His major research interests are neuropharmacology, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and Huntington’s disease.
Jacques Demotes-Mainard (MD, PhD, MBA) is Neurologist and Professor of Cell Biology. Coordinator since 2004 of four FP6 and FP7 ECRIN projects, and currently Director-General of ECRIN-ERIC, a not-for-profit research infrastructure supporting multinational clinical trials in Europe.
Dr Gian Luca Forni is a hematologist with an expertise in iron chelation therapies indicated for systemic siderosis. He has experience with the safety profile of deferiprone and notably for the neutropenia and agranulocytosis. He collaborated on the first pilot trial of chelation with deferiprone in “Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation”.
Holm Graessner, PhD, MBA, is managing director of the Rare Disease Centre Tübingen and head of the research management unit of the Institute of Medical Genetics and Applied Genomics at the University Hospital Tübingen. He has profound experience in project management of collaborative projects such as the FP6 and FP7 EU projects EUROSCA, MEFOPA, RATstream, SENSE-PARK, TreatPolyQ, MultISyn and NeurOmics.
Prof. Tolosa is a neurologist by the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology, the American Neurological Association and the Royal College of Physicians, and a founding member of the Movement Disorder Society (MDS). He’s currently a Senior Consultant at the Department of Neurology at the Hospital Clinic Universitari in Barcelona
Prof. Tolosa’s research interests have centered on movement disorders and particularly in issues related to experimental therapeutics, etiology and pathophysiology of various parkinsonisms. His team has been among the first in Europe to evaluate efficacy of novel surgical strategies for Parkinson’s disease such as subthalamic nucleus stimulation and its impact upon patients cognition and quality of life. In addition, during the last years, he has dedicated his investigations to the study of the asymptomatic individuals carrying PD-causative mutations in the LRRK2 gene.
