Par-Con 2021 - Diet, gut health and probiotics
In this session we’ll be hearing about how the gut is connected to Parkinson’s and discovering the importance of diet and nutrition from our experts Richelle Flanagan, Dr Filip Scheperjans, and Dr Lynne Barker. We’ll get advice that people can apply to their lives right now and find out how researchers are turning to the microbiome to develop the treatments of tomorrow.

FILIP SCHEPERJANS
Adjunct Professor of Neurology, Department of Neurology, Helsinki University Hospital, Finland
I am a clinical neurologist mainly working in the field of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. For the last 10 years my focus has been on elucidating the role of gut bacteria in the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease. I hope that at some point this will lead to new therapeutic approaches that may improve the life of Parkinson’s patients or even help to slow down, stop or prevent Parkinson’s.
LYNNE BARKER
Reader in Cognitive Neuroscience, Sheffield Hallam University
Dr Lynne Barker is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience within the Centre for Behavioural Science and Applied Psychology, Psychology Dept., Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK. For the past two decades, she has worked closely with clinical collaborators investigating effects of brain injury, stroke and dementia on cognitive function and behaviour, and more recently, investigating the microbiome in motor disorders. She was awarded the Medipex Prize (2016) for innovation in the treatment of patients with cognitive deficits in the NHS. She is presently conducting several studies investigating the gut microbiome and potential therapeutic effects of probiotics on symptoms, behaviour and cognition in Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis, in conjunction with The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience, and in collaboration with Symprove.
