Lundbeck Foundation Parkinson’s Disease Research Center (PACE)
The vision of the research centre is to develop treatments that can slow or stop the development of Parkinson's disease.
The centre’s focus is on delivering ground-breaking discoveries, while also ensuring that the results of those discoveries quickly benefit patients. The aim is to conduct clinical trials with patients and provide initial evidence for the effectiveness of new treatments within 10 years.
In addition, researchers will be working on finding new ways of detecting Parkinson’s disease earlier – it can be through blood tests, scans, sleep studies, skin biopsies, or samples from the gastrointestinal tract.
PACE is a unique research environment where leading Danish and international researchers will collaborate across disciplines spanning from basic research to clinical research, and registry-based research.
PACE is anchored at Aarhus University Hospital.
The centre will research Lewy Body Disorders, of which Parkinson's disease is the most common.
