Technical Lead, Data & Technology

About Us

We at IND are committed to advancing research, diagnosis, and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. We’re proud to be part of the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), a landmark program launched in 2010 in collaboration with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. PPMI has achieved unprecedented growth, expanding to over 50 global clinical sites with 4000+ participants. Now, on the precipice of a groundbreaking opportunity, PPMI focuses on at-risk populations, aiming to reduce and prevent the progression of PD disability. Excitingly, PPMI has also launched a participant centric online study platform and is actively involved in the Path 2 Prevention Study (P2P), a Therapeutic Platform Study in PD.

Join us in this exciting journey at IND, where we combine cutting-edge science with a passion for making a lasting impact on the understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
