A little belatedly, I want to make a brief mention of the neural transplantation program located here in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre. Dalhousie University's Medical School is closely associated with this project. Phase II is about to begin and is being headed by Dr. Ivar Mendez and an excellent team. They are very positive about the importance of their work in Phase II. The Nova Scotia Division of the Parkinson Foundation of Canada will be carrying regular updates on Phase II in its regular Newsletter. The Newsletter is also posted to the Division's Home Page (URL: http://www.ccn.cs.dal.ca/Health/NSPF/nsd-pfc.html) I might add, as well, that Parkinson research at Dalhousie University is expanding rapidly. Parkinsonians in Nova Scotia and in the Atlantic region generally are very encouraged by the work Dalhousie researchers are doing and their contribution to the overall worldwide effort to understand more about Parkinson's. So, check out the Nova Scotia newsletter on the Web from time to time for more information about the neural transplantation program.
