Just a bit more background about Mark Wilson.....he did his post-doc study to aid in identifying the Parkin gene....this is not his first adventure into the world of Parkinsons. My husband is chair of the Biochemistry dept at UN-L, and Julie and Mark are both faculty members in the Biochem Dept. The basic research is very interesting....but realistically early steps in helping the patient. Sincerely, Rita Weeks, age 62, dx age 45 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
