MDS Podcast

Dr. Eduardo de Pablo-Fernández discusses with Dr. Samuel Kim recent advances in Huntington’s disease, including genetic mechanisms, emerging biomarkers, and the potential of huntingtin-lowering therapies and gene therapy.

Dr. Mitra Afshari discusses with Dr. Raul Martínez-Fernández recent advances in MRI-guided focused ultrasound for essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease, including improvements in safety and efficacy, its relationship with deep brain stimulation, and emerging neuromodulation approaches.

Ms. Nicole Duff discusses with Dr. Alison Yarnall the prevalence and impact of frailty in Parkinsonism, including how it is identified and measured and its implications for clinical trials and patient care.

Dr. Andrew Siderowf shares what you missed from #mdscongress day three, which included a deep dive into the evolving AI landscape and insightful live patient rounds.

Highlights from day 2: Dr. Sanjay Pandey recaps the key takeaways, including from the aging & comorbidities and renown awardee lecture sessions.

Dr. Thomas Kimber breaks down the eventful and science-packed first day of the #MDSCongress.

Prof. Tiago Outeiro speaks with 2026 MDS Congress C. David Marsden Presidential Lecture Award winner Prof. Vincenzo Bonifati about his landmark genetic discoveries and the future of movement disorders research.

Sara Schaefer speaks with the MDS Congress 2026 Junior Award Winner Dr. Richard Morton about his prevalence study on Parkinson's disease in Kalifi County, Kenya, a substudy of the Transforming Parkinson's Care in Africa (TraPCAf) study.

In this episode, we speak with Zixiao Yin, recipient of a Junior Award at the MDS Congress, about his work on reconstructing deep brain activity from cortical signals. Using more than 700 hours of simultaneous cortical and subcortical recordings across different movement disorders, brain targets, and clinical states, Yin and colleagues developed deep learning approaches to infer subcortical activi...
