Expertise of the participating organization:


We are involved since 10 years in the differential diagnosis, treatment, clinical research and clinical trials, and epidemiology on parkinsonism. We conducted epidemiological research on PD (population-based study in the elderly living in South-western France) in collaboration with the Department of Epidemiology, Public Health and Development- University of Bordeaux2 (INSERM U-330, Prof. Dartigues). We are currently leading a registry of MSA patients and a study of risk factors of MSA within a network of Neurologists in Aquitaine, South-western France. We have also a strong experience in experimental research on basal ganglia physiology and pathophysiology. Since 1 year, we are leading a research team on animal models of MSA (both rodents and primates) within the Neurophysiology Laboratory, University of Bordeaux2 (CNRS-UMR 5543, director Prof. Bioulac). Principal scientific personnel involved in the project : Imad Ghorayeb, MD: Assistant-Assistant en Physiologie (Lecturer in Physiology), PhD student, involved in experimental research on MSA animal models. Farid Yeklef, MD. Clinical Research Assistant, involved in MSA epidemiology research. Virginie Chrysostome, MD: Qualified in Neurology (residency completed), involved in MSA epidemiological research (preparing a University Diploma of Epidemiology). Chrystophe Sourgen: Clinical Research Technician (INSERM-U330), involved in MSA epidemiological research. Pierre Olivier Fernagut: Neuroscience Diploma Student, University of Bordeaux2, involved in experimental research on MSA animal models.
