In memory of former co-founder and President of Cure Parkinson’s Tom Isaacs, who died in May 2017 aged 49, Cure Parkinson’s and Van Andel Institute jointly present this annual award to a researcher who has shown the greatest impact on the lives of people living with Parkinson’s and/or has involved people with Parkinson’s in a participatory way in their work. This year, Dr. Matthew Farrer was honored as the recipient of the Tom Isaac’s Award.
The award is presented in recognition of Tom Isaacs’ vision that a cure for Parkinson’s will be found but greater value is gained from working with people with Parkinson’s in this quest.
You can watch him receive his award here!
Congratulations on your win!
