Welcome to RIGeast

The East of England Research Interest Group is led by a steering group of volunteers who work with local Parkinson’s UK groups and staff from across the region*. Together, these volunteers co-ordinate, initiate and share opportunities for people to participate in activities linked to research on Parkinson’s disease.
These include:

Arranging presentations and discussions of the latest research.
Learning about the results of the latest clinical trials.
Visits to laboratories undertaking Parkinson’s research.
Participation in research surveys and projects.
Keeping up-to-date with global research progress and new treatments.
Working with researchers to shape their research.
Helping review and make decisions about the research projects funded by Parkinson’s UK.
Raising funds towards finding a cure and better treatments for Parkinson’s.

We are eager to recruit local members to become Research Champions who will play a key role in helping to disseminate research information and support the RIG generally. To find out more and how to get involved, click here.
