About PDRC
Parkinson's Disease Research Cluster (PDRC)
The Parkinson's Disease Research Cluster (PDRC), is a group of researchers working together to better understand Parkinson’s Disease. Our research team is dedicated to producing high-quality research that will increase our knowledge of the causes of Parkinson’s disease, how it can be detected and diagnosed more quickly, what are the important symptoms that impair the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s and their families, and how we can improve these symptoms through better care.
This is a collaborative effort, involving experts from a wide range of disciplines based at Cork University Hospital and University College Cork including social gerontologists, health services researchers, clinical neurologists and geriatricians, neuro-rehabilitation specialists, and neuroscientists. At the PDRC, we are a collective of research teams working together to better understand Parkinson’s Disease through conducting cutting edge research with the ultimate aim being to lead to advances in patient care and improved health outcomes.
