To: Mr. Wim Dewijngaert,
Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven , Connecticut has been
conducting an experimental program of fetal brain tissue implants into the
brains of patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. This program has been
privately funded and predates the lifting of the ban of public funding for
such research by the Clinton Administration. I do not know if younger PD
patients are a particular focus of this program. I seem to recall reading
that they are not.
Dr. Kenneth Marek, of the Neurology Dept, is Director of the Movement
Disorders Center at the Yale School of Medicine. The address is:
333 Cedar Street
New Haven, CT 06510
