Discover ASAP

The ASAP-sponsored video series, Discover ASAP, highlights top findings and tools connected to our ASAP network, including datasets, code & software, protocols, and lab materials. Featured videos include interviews of authors, grantees, and key opinion leaders in Parkinson’s research. 

Discover ASAP is designed to further the spread of knowledge and enhance equity across the scientific community by promoting transparent research practices. We are excited to share these interviews and videos with the research community, in hopes that they will help to accelerate discoveries for Parkinson’s disease.
